This may have been brought; up before; in short - Batteries Plus (now known as Batteries + Bulbs) will test you deep cycle batteries for free using the correct test of a "capacity test." A lot of places do free battery tests, but they always give me the wrong answer when I ask what kind of test you perform. "Cold Crank Amp Test" they reply - and act like they're educating me on batteries.
I started the conversation with Batteries Plus the same as I always do, by asking "Do test deep cycle batteries?" The answer of course was " yes." My next question was what kind of test do you do? They answered that you can't do a cold crank amp test, it's a capacity test; which is exactly what I wanted to hear them say.
My three-year-old batteries are well cared for, the result one being 98% and the other being 86%
I had purchased some Mighty Max batteries that failed after five months, they came back from Batteries Plus at 21% capacity. Mighty Max covered them under warranty and sent me two replacements, but I'm going to take them directly over to Batteries Plus to have them tested as well. I also purchased two batteries from Batteries Plus for there trouble.
