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?

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.

Fact of the week
Brothers Adolf ("Adi") and Rudolf ("Rudi") Dassler split their shoe company after WWII due to a bitter feud, and established the rival companies of Adidas and Puma. Their personal animosity and business rivalry divided their German hometown Herzogenaurach. The town became known as "the town of bent necks" due to the intense loyalty to each brand.
