I quit going to Pick&Pull salvage yards!

I went to one yesterday, looking for car batteries. My forklift battery
died and I needed one for the Lincoln and Hobart gasoline powered
welders.

So I drive the 40 miles..and they didnt have any. Someone had come in
and bought 20 Sunday morning..blink blink....

So I noticed a pallet load of them in an odd location and asked the guy
about them and was advised they were "bad".

So I get out my meter and go check..and about 3/4 of them were showing
under 7 volts..but 5-8 of them were at 12.5 volts.

So I bought 2 of them (with a 30 day warranty) for $21 each..and he
tossed in the 3rd for free and included a warranty. I picked the best
looking and most capacity, which in a pickup truck town are generally
pretty big.

Ill test them this morning and see if I did ok or not.
