Re: (ET) quiet

["Mike Wallace" <metman glasgow-ky com>]

Okay guys, I got one for you to discuss.  I've got a lead on some supposedly 
"decent" used golf cart batteries for $6 a piece from a local golf course. 
$6 is the current core charge that the Interstate dealer is charging the guy 
that's selling the new batteries to the guy at the golf course.

What's the best way to try and field test them before I go to the trouble of 
buying them and bringing them home.  Currently in my area, no recycling 
businesses are buying old batteries.

Is the standard automotive load tester worth using on our batteries?  I 
recently acquired a "defective" one that just needed a new lead on one side; 
and naturally I've got a hydrometer and volt meter.

Any suggestions?  Especially on just how to use the load tester, if it's 
feasible to even try to use it.
