Battery Tester?

[aviken]

Agreed Dan.

I am a visual person, and I remember by doing. It's that "a picture is worth a thousand words" thing I guess.
In fact I have a Trace charge controller / inverter I bought about 2 years ago with some Golf Cart batteries...which have since sat and gone dead...I often wonder if I could bring them back to life, or if I should give them away, etc. I have a true rms voltmeter, nothing to fancy, but a real one none the less. One of these days I'll try to get it all working or something. I had read the manual but got all caught up on the grounding of it. Something about bonding the ground to the neurtal if hooked to a generator, or grounding it at the box or with a separate ground. I tried hookin' it up once...couldn't get it to work...but I didnt try too hard...I was afraid I'd fry something....

Heres a pic of my batteries (4 x 6v)...I was wondering if I wired them in twos if I could charge them on my 12volt charger? I would like to see if I can get anything back out of these batteries...
