Well, I raided my dad's battery pile as well as the unused farm equipment and filled the rear hatch area with about 18 or so. Unfortunately all 3 of the large tractor batteries were sitting at ~2v or less. 2 of them had sufficient electrolyte levels though (no exposed plates). Curious if either will take a decent charge.
Half the car batteries were at 11v or more, so some likely have some life to them.
Anyone have a methodology to test capacity that doesn't involve deeply discharging the battery? Perhaps target a 75% voltage as the discharge cutt-off and extrapolate capacity from that?
Know where to get top dollar for the scrap value? I don't see batteries mentioned on the webpage of the local metal scrapyard, but it's also not on the prohibited list.
