Definitely bring your battery meter and chart. 8.00 volts is only 43% state of charge.

I personally would not accept anything with less than 80% state of charge; which I understand is the point where permanent sulfating can start to set in during long term storage. 80% = 8.33 volts.

Good luck with your new batteries ... and make sure to follow good break in procedures as best as possible (see Scotties website) to achieve a long and prosperous battery life.
