dead batteries

I had new batteries installed by Crown in December or January. My guys forgot to plug the stacker in and now the batteries are dead. I tried to put them on trickle charge but nothing. Is there possibly a trick to get these batteries to charge without calling Crown out again?

Showing items 1 - 2 of 2 results.
are you saying 1 12v battery attached to 2 of the 6volts? and then probably do it again for the other 2 batteries? And wire them in series or parallel?

If you have a jump pack, you can place the clips across 2 batteries (12v) and jump it. That should get the voltage high enough for the on-board charger to start.
That all depends on how low the voltage is and if there are any possible dead batteries.

According to studies published in the English Journal of Medicine, the impact of daylight savings is revealed by a 24% increase in heart attacks on the Monday following the spring shift forward. When clocks move back in autumn, heart attacks drop by about 21%, suggesting that loss of sleep is an important driver.
