Why you should individually charge new lead-acid batteries before install

Ideally, you want to charge them up AND give them one full cycle before installation, but just doing an equalisation charge is already a huge step toward ensuring longevity.

Fun fact, these two brand new batteries cycled at 3 Ah and 3.4 Ah respectively at a 10 A rate - that's a quite significant capacity difference! Imagine if the higher capacity block was the less charged one - the lower capacity one would never be able to catch up with it!
