charge em up n let them sit for a few hrs, take em to walmart or somewhere and have them load test it. Walmart does em here and sometimes if there not busy for free //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif

Most places that can test 12v batteries can test just about any 12v battery.

Some of the better testers will have selections for flooded, agm, spiral and so on.

If you know anyone who works for a dealership, they should have some very nice testers.//content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/thumbsup.gif.3287b36ca96645a13a43aff531f37f02.gif
