Is my Deep Cycle Battery Dead?

[baironhorse]

Tried to charge me Deep cycle battery and does not hold charge....Worked ok before and it seems all of a suden...Did a Hydrometer gravity check and these are my results from left to right cell:

Cell #1- 1.250

#2 - 1.100

#3 - 1.250

#4-1.275

$5-1.250

#6- 1.270

Now this was after a charge and removal of surface charge....Seems to me cell #2 is dead...is there any way I can revive this battery? If I were to use a good 15amp charger like CT Nautis one will this help...I want to make it till end of season and avoid having a new battery sit around all winter (charging it of course)....your thoughts?

you should go to a battery specialist to have it checked.I had the same problem with my optima red top,charged it for 3 days and still wouldn't hold the charge brought it in had them check it and now the battery is ok.

where should I send and how much will it cost??

What's the brand of the battery?Look for the distributor.

You'll have to find a place yourself,I'm from Montreal.The place charged me 10$.

They are all done!esp #2 cell!

Each cell should have 2.1 volts max ,in tip top shape!

Yep, I agree......add up your cells and they come to 7.395 volts....NOT good for a 12 volt battery.

I would get a new battery,not worth the hassle for a $100 if it was an Optima yes.
