LOL. Thanks for taking it lightly guys.
Main thing is old batteries out, math out, new spiral cells in and let's go wheeling. Unless of course you have a bad (whichever it is) or badly installed battery, in which case you go nowhere. Stu, Blaine or other electrical gurus, what do you think a good bench test would be? Plug the battery to an inverter and hook couple of high wattage appliances and watch the current drop? I think this would just show reserve capacity which should be similar. Plus I'm not sure if I want to drain my starter battery since it is not even designed for may high drain cycles. |

I have a buddy of mine that maintains several mountain top radio sites. He is semi-retired so when he goes up to work on a radio system, he often makes a day of it. He runs a Blazer that does pretty well, although his only 4x4 operation is getting to the radio sites. He ran a pair of Yellow Tops (bad battery x 4) the last time I checked. He also carry's an electric grill in the Blazer so he can BBQ burgers for lunch on the mountain top (I told you he enjoys his semi-retirement). He uses a massive power inverter to "fire up" the electric grill. He says it does a pretty good job of load testing the batteries.
