[QUOTE="Moosetek13, post: 9484420, member: 52051"]I just left the Menasha terminal after getting new batteries. When I went in I was told it would be tomorrow, even though I was told yesterday that if I got there before noon they would get me in today. The lady said they do not make appointments and three other trucks came in this morning so they were in front of me. Then she starts telling me that if I had my 12V cooler running that I could not expect more than 4 hours or so until the low voltage cutoff kicked in, because the truck batteries were not made for that. I told her otherwise, based on several trucks and many years experience with both new and old batteries. But they did get me in right away to test the batteries. A couple hours later I went to check on the status and she told me the mechanic was replacing all four batteries. He didn't want to waste time testing them because he was so busy, so decided to just replace them all. He was the only mechanic working today. Cool. And I was there a total of less than 3 hours.[/QUOTE]
