baironhorse Posted September 14, 2010 Report Share Posted September 14, 2010 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?

chong Posted September 14, 2010 Report Share Posted September 14, 2010 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.

They are all done!esp #2 cell! Each cell should have 2.1 volts max ,in tip top shape! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Billy Bob Posted September 16, 2010 Report Share Posted September 16, 2010 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chong Posted September 16, 2010 Report Share Posted September 16, 2010 I would get a new battery,not worth the hassle for a $100 if it was an Optima yes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
