I don't think I will use the magic salt trick, thanks anyway :)
The batts are dated G1 (July 2011) they had been in a golf car since don't know when doing don't know what till last May when the golf car got new batts.
The golf car dealer ran tests on the batts and decided they had 86 minutes where the standard is 100 minutes. (they have some weird test thing they do at golf courses) So they put them up for sale as used batts. At some lower number of minutes, they just put them on the recycle pile, but these were considered to still have some use left in them for say---an RVer! :)
When I first got them in early August, I ran a quickie AH test and got ISTR 246 so 246/300 = 82% so that matches their 86 idea after sitting on a pallet for two and a half months (the guy told me)
A more recent test showed approx. 265 or so before this last nursing time at home. 265/300 =88% So I expect I am into the 90s now, but haven't tested.
