Batteries

So i picked up 4 batteries the other day. 2 car 1 truck and a marine battery. Now my question is 2 of the batteries look almost new. (The marine and 1 car battery). Do you guys resell decent batteries, or just scrap?

You should be able to sell them, go over to the hobby shop and see if they can test them for you, and see if you can sell them to anybody there.

Throw the tester / Toaster on them
If they hold a charge I sell on Craigs

If you don't have a tester, but have one of teh auto parts stores near you, like Advanced auto, Napa, etc. They'll check your batteries for free. I wouldn't take a pallet with me, but 3 or 4 I would.

Just another outlet if needed.

In this case harbor freight is your friend. They sell the resistance load testers (which is all you really need) for about 8 bucks. It's dead simple so don't expect it to break like everything else. Use that rather than a DVM to weed out dead cells. Also, always pop the caps if you can to see if they need water (The battery in my truck needed water...that's how I got it for free.)
