    Just won Hyster E40XL-MIL on GL

    Ideally you want the batteries to 'rest' a while before taking the reading on the cells, right after the charger is disconnected the cells will usually read higher. I think waiting 30 - 60 mins then taking another reading will give you a more true value.

    International Maxxpro Armored vehicle

    I have seen them in Tan, not a paint expert but the military paint is so rough I would think adhesion would be good as long as there wasn't a solvent reaction creating fish eyes or orange peel. With the rough surface it might be hard to get a good even gloss maybe 2cents

    Batteries were dead/ made it home

    No didn't pay, They were over 2 hours late too. I would have been on the road much quicker with a battery swap. But thought what the heck for $60 I could get a quick jump and then take my time when home to make the right battery purchases. As opposed to buying a quick fix setup from Walmart...

Checked the Hawkers and 2 were reading 6 volts one was 9 volts and 4th was 12.5. So that taught me the golden rule (which I disobeyed) and that is not to...
