flwatersaver Posted March 28, 2013 Report Share Posted March 28, 2013 THIS IS FOR INFORMATION ONLY PLEASE DO NOT POST YOUR OPINIONS. Background InfoLoad tester - sanp-onThe load tester uses a turn dial that has to be cranked and held in place. We did our best trying to hold it at 500amp load for 30secs but some variations occur which you can see in the video. Please do not get upset at these varations but you can use them to form any opinion you want.After the video ended a one min timer (started after load) told use when to take the picture for return to voltage.We took measurements, weight, and pad size for each battery.how pad size was taken.

flwatersaver Posted March 28, 2013 Author Report Share Posted March 28, 2013 THIS ONE WILL BE RETESTED WITH A BETTER CONNECTION Model - Optima D34/78group -34weight - did not weigh+ post pad - .886instarting V - 12.665 sec load - 527amps 9.0215 sec load - 526amps 8.8120 sec load- 512amps 8.79v25 sec load - DNF30 sec load - DNFinstant return - DNF1 min return - DNF20 secs into testing the battery was popping, hissing, smoking, and then upon melting we shut it off. Even the top terminals were super hot. The battery did survive and still works but I would not recommend this battery for this kind of load. ( Warning - a 500amp load is not recommended for any group 34 at all) My selling FeedbackBuild log - Blazer C pillar wall, Two DC Audio 3.5k'sTEAM PSI Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

n8ball2013 Posted March 28, 2013 Report Share Posted March 28, 2013 two things that optima is resting way low. Its pretty much kicked at its resting voltage. They have been known to not handle nearly as much crrent draw through the side mounts. do it on the top mounts and see. It wont make that much of a difference im sure but ive got some extensive ahdns on with them.
