Sergeant_Skyrim Posted November 30, 2013 Report Posted November 30, 2013 Got in contact with somebody who's selling an XP2500 and XP3000 which are ~6 or 7 months old he says. Just wanting to hear any advice I can before I go meet up with the guy. He's local so I'm gonna be meeting him somewhere, was thinking an Autozone or something like that would be a great idea that way I could get the batts tested before I buy them. Just wondering what I need to know to look for. Batts rested at 13.41v in his pics which is really good Just haven't really bought much used stuff so I want to make sure I'm well prepared. Thanks for reading! Edit: And even if it's just something simple and seems like common sense like check for no bulges, I'd still appreciate it! Build in progress
Tarball Posted November 30, 2013 Report Posted November 30, 2013 I was going to say check for bulges but you have that covered it seems. Load test is a good idea.

Tecomah Posted November 30, 2013 Report Posted November 30, 2013 Load testing is genius. I would check for any small cracks as well because that could present some issues. 750??! Yeah, fuck that.

tacomaguy1 Posted November 30, 2013 Report Posted November 30, 2013 13.4 is a highish resting voltage Must of just pulled them off the charger Load test is the best thing Team Flex Issues
baaudio Posted November 30, 2013 Report Posted November 30, 2013 you want to check resting voltage and for any cosmetic defects. if possible go to a battery dealer and have them load tested. resting voltage should be 12.7+, 13+ is ideal however Team NWSPL baaudio Build Log 2001 GMC Sierra walkthrough 4 Mechman Elite 370s, 10 AGM batteries, 3 Crossfire XS v2 18s, Crossfire 8k

RickyFriery97 Posted November 30, 2013 Report Posted November 30, 2013 yea 13.5 is high most likely just off the charger. when i sold my D3100s locally i met at a advanced and took them in and had them tested. and as said above check for any cracks or bulges and you should be good to go! 2014 Chevy Silverado Crewcab 1994 Chevy Full Size blazer
Sergeant_Skyrim Posted December 1, 2013 Author Report Posted December 1, 2013 Appreciate the help guys! Went and picked them up yesterday at an Autozone and they were fine! 2500 rests at 13.3 and the 3000 rests at 13.06ish! The xp3000 on top is the one I've had for a while now, two on bottom are new. 2500 went to a buddy of mine. $300 for both the bottom batts, what a steal Build in progress
