I woul like someone that has an EverStart maxx batttery to check their
cells and let me know what readings they get.

A little self-centered, are we?

Are you thinking they should be different because of the brand? In my
experience battery hydrometers have a single scale that applies to all
batteries. A battery hydrometer is good mostly for identifying a
weak cell but after charging be sure to let the battery rest before
you use the hydro.

All automotive starting batteries operate the same way. Correct and
incorrect readings are the same regardless of brand.

What you are looking for is uneven readings, same as for compression.
If one cell is lower than the rest it is a bad one usually.

If they are all low, then look to a bad connection or a bad alternator.

you can check your cells with a volt meter and it will prove to be
more accurate. to do this disconnect the battery cables, neg. first.
then remove all the caps to the cells, set your DMM to volts, hold one
lead on either of the battery posts and touch the metal tip of the
other lead into the electrolite in the cell closest to the post you
are touching, then start moving away checking each cell in the same
fashion, you should find on a fully charged battery that each cell has
2.1 volts, remember they will start adding as you move through the
cells 2.1v, 4.2v, 6.3v, 8.4v, 10.5v, and 12.6v

usually though, if you suspect a bad battery or alternator you can
take it to your local napa dealer and they will load test either for
you and no charge
