Charge the batteries then isolate them to test individually. Starter draw test on the starter. You may need a Sun Vat40 or similar to test properly.

Today I figured while the ground was soft and moist I could tear into an old fence line. Pull up t posts, rip sucker brush out and push over small locust. The locust are the bane of my existence. they are covered in medieval 2-3 inch spike thorns. They go thru boots or tires with impunity. They are evil. I got about forty feet done today. And was thrilled.
So whats the name of this place and where is it located?? Might be worth a road trip someday we aren't that far away.
Agree I've cut down all the locust trees on my five acres except one.
It's called the Olde Brick House and it's in Marion (north side of Cedar Rapids.) About 45 min south of me. There is one in Rochester and St Cloud Minnesota. Fishypete lives in St Cloud.
Busy day getting ready for her girl's wine fest tomorrow. It's costing a small fortune but that's ok. I worked a few hours this afternoon chopping and shoveling the leftover snow and ice off the additional parking area in front of the detached garage. They need a place to park and not slip I was told...hmm the street and driveway are clear they could walk in?? 130 yards from the road so probably a bad suggestion...keep pushing snow keep chopping ice. I've secured refuge for tomorrow night at an alternate location with two other wine girl spouses. We're calling ours Whiskey Wednesday and we'll see who has more fun. Hey maybe between the wine and whiskey we might all have some fun?? 
I'll have to check and see if there is something like it in Kansas City. Hmm here it'd be whiskey and BBQ...YUM!!

So since you posted this, it led me down a rabbit hole for Fayetteville Ark. Wondered if they had a similar list? Which led to this bit of nonsense. And ya wonder why we drink at home.
Ugh ugh hell has frozen over, Chris understands electrical enough to be dangerous.
I’ve had this project at work since Feb that an electrical engineer has been working a design in. Basically building a giant office building , with over 50 desks. In late June, he sends me an email saying we don’t have enough power to supply everything, namely “amps” on 120VAC . I ask how much we had available, he replied that the transformer is only 150 AMPS. Basically enough for 7 desks( we allow 20 amps per desk/office). So went back to the customer, we spent 3 months redesigning the layout. Went over it today with everyone, very same electrical engineer goes “oh, I meant to say 150 KVA, not amps” I went, holy hell, we have over 1200 amps then. He goes no, 150… I had to explain to an electrical engineer that 1 kva is equals to a little more than 8 amps… he had to Google to verify. Now, he’s nearing mandatory retirement and almost 70 so I think he just got confused but still. Ugh

That could be a lot of split rail fencing. A lot of work though
Black locust is about as rot resitant as one can get (from US or Canada anway)
Honey Locust not as much - would have to check.
I installed a second battery in my avalanche before last winter. I was occasionally having to boost it. I figured parasitic drain, when i decided to isolate the batteries,turns out the battery that was new when i bought truck was junk. The second battery was hiding the problem.
That aint no fun.
Wow that's a lot of tax ya I understand why you drink at home and the moon shiners have such a great following. We only pay sales tax in Kansas.
With my truck, 7.3 diesel, it has two 850cca group 65 and still has issues. I did call the parts place tonight and asked them to look up when i bought them. 2013! 10 yrs ain't so bad maybe. Time for new ones. Fingers crossed.
Or go to the class 6 and pay no sales tax.
That said, everyone pays federal taxes on alcohol, there’s not avoiding it. Usually it’s built into the price so you don’t see it itemized but some places do itemize it
The wiener mobile parked in Uranus.
Morning
Look at the Motorcraft group 65 batteries. They have 10 years worth of pro rated warranty. 3 year free replacement then seven years pro rated.
