Previous owner Dave had the batteries charging for the day; voltage was registering at 12.6V with the charger off.
The house batteries are rated for 600 cold cranking amps (CCA). I isolated each battery and hooked up the load tester, and brought the resistive guage up to 300 amps (half the CCA). A good battery after 15 seconds should register above 10V. Well, both failed miserably; they were down to 8V after about 5 seconds.
Ordering two CROWN Group 31s to give a house bank of 260 amp hours.
Dave had a guy out to replace the cracked engine hoses and a leaking coolant fitting.
