  1. I just ran out to the garage and snapped some pics.

    This is the charger I have. I ordered it from Northern Tool.

    Load tester for starting duty. Might give you an idea of condition. I think they are around $40 - $60 bucks. Should be available at auto parts store.

    If these batteries were open cell, the electrolyte in each cell could be checked to verify the balance between cells.

  2. They might be a little hurt. I would go ahead and run them but that's just me. The rate of sulphation goes up as the voltage goes down. Is your charger one of those desulphation / pulse types? I use one to help failing batteries and it will keep them going longer. Anytime a battery is sitting for more than a week it should be put on trickle to fight sulphation. Even when your new battery is sitting at the store, the clock is ticking. Anyone know how to read the date codes on these? If you buy from a store you can pick the newest ones.

  3. I was thinking of a dual mono setup with two P200.2 with one bridged on the left and one bridged on the right. Then I thought "I wonder what the stereo separation is on my EQ?". So I need dual mono EQs? Dual mono head units? (tuned to the same radio station LOL!) I don't know if its just the high power stages or if every pre amp along the way has an issue. Maybe just separate things enough to not be worse than the source recording?
