I got six Trojan Gc220 batteries in Santa Rosa Ca. For the price of the cores. The needed desulfation badly. The owner grinned as I paid him 60 dollars and carted them off. Here five years later they are still going strong in rancho Arce Arce. He used the money saved to buy more panels snd a battery monitor.

Those batteries were rescued in 2012. The owner said they were six years old and "never worked right". Had a head as dense as a brick. Keep laughing...
Whimsical "Oh today, I am going to decide they are bad" is a personal inviolate choice. Just let me know if you decision is based on whiffenpoof. Bad batteries do not test good. So-so batteries do not test good. Batteries with a year's service do not test "good". Seems testing is now obsolete.
Guesswork! The mark of somone with money to burn...
