If you have access to a high-load battery tester, pull a 300 amp load (1/2 the CCA) for 15 seconds, and check the voltage while the load is still on. You should get 4.5 volts or more. The battery should be able to do at least 3 load tests in a row 5 minutes apart without seriously dropping the test voltage. Jerry
