I currently am running 6 of the D1400's in my Distinkt Sound demo truck. Out of the box the were completely chrarged, and came in without any damage. XS makes great products, and I would recommnend any of their batteries to someone looking for a great audio battery. With use of a intellicharger these batteries can be discharged and then fully charged and kept a "float level to maintain long lasting life out of these great batteries. I have recently purchased one of these as well to take a load off my alternator.

Thanks Sonic Electonix & XS Power
