Resurrecting sealed lead acid batteries for outside home equipment (gate)

SF Man · 2011-07-30T02:11:53+00:00

The lawn mower chewed up the 18 volt AC wire going to the driveway gateabout a year ago and I just got around to fixing it.Both batteries inside were new a year ago but both are dead as a doorknob.I've had a 6amp 14-volt battery charger on them for two days and still,less than a volt (and no current on the gauge).What does it take to resurrect sealed lead acid batteries?(Model RB500 & UT1270)

Did you read about the Firefly technology, it's a bit different from conventional lead acid batteries?

It's still using the same chemical storage. Leave it dead for 10 months and it's toast.
