Batteries Plus — Local services in Brooklyn Park

Brought in two batteries to be tested and the person helping me was getting the test equipment ready when another employee walked by and said "the first on will be bad and the second needs water, don't even bother testing" They measured 5 volts on the one battery that I had just measured 13 volts on and refused to test it, I went home and measured 13 volts on it and then went to the auto parts store to get it load tested and it tested out fine. I checked the water level on the other battery and it was full, that one also tested fine.

I wont even drive in the parking lot of the place any more and I suggest you do the same. You would probably have better luck getting your batteries tested at Chuck E Cheeses!

I returned the battery and another sales person (not Tanes) gave me a replacement battery that was just as old and he didn't seem to know what an battery expiration date and battery "stock rotation" - was. I told him that I wanted a fresh battery and I think I ended up getting one. The manager of this store needs to put procedures in place to make sure the inventory he has in his store is good and fresh inventory and should check the voltage ("under load") and expiration dates of the batteries before he sells them...
