[QUOTE="phased, post: 114898, member: 414"] If the specific gravity of the battery is too low I believe you will find that a small charger (steady 15 amp output or less) will be unable to recover a charge in the battery. If you will use a charger that has a "boost" ability of 50 to 100 amps and "boost the battery for 60 to 90 seconds then turn the charger down to 15 to 20 amp charge most of the time the battery will recover. I have found that it takes that initial boost to "excite" the battery to make it take a charge. [/QUOTE]
