Had the same deal with a local dealer about 25 years ago. I have forgotten what brand he was selling, I think Interstate or Varta.
Anyhow, we were fitting dual batteries in an IH pickup to crank the 4-53 diesel engine we installed.

With one battery in each front corner of the engine bay, we decided it would be easiest to wire using a size 27 in one box and a 27F in the other. Only difference between 27 and 27F is that the POS and NEG post positions are reversed, so both batteries ended up with the POS post in front and inboard. Before connecting the two new batteries, I charged them with a 8 amp charger. The 27 was fine, the 27F was open circuit, no power would go in or out.

OK, back to the dealer for another new battery. I took the second new 27F home and put it on the charger. Same as the other one, open circuit, so headed the 6 miles back to the dealer again. After 2 bad ones in a row, I asked the dealer to test this third 27F battery. He did and it was another dud. He had 6 more 27F batteries sitting on the shelf, he checked every one as I stood there, all were duds, so he had 8 bad 27F batteries in stock.
We had to put our project on hold for a couple days while the dealer got in some new 27F batteries from the distributor. That pair 27 and 27F then ran with no problems for 6 years of hard use.

Today's Featured Article - A Brief History of Tractors in Australia - by Bob Kavanagh. After Captain Cook's exploration of the east coast in 1770 the British Government decided to establish a penal colony in Australia. The first fleet arrived in 1788 and consisted mainly of convicts who were poorly equipped and new little of farming techniques. The colony remained far from self-supporting and it was not until the early 1800's that things started to improve. Free settlers started to arrive, they followed the explorers across the mountains and where land was suitable set up farms. T ... [Read Article]
