Please log in for more thread options to find the battery dead as a doornail. Upon examination, the battery is completely dry. I'm guessing it was overcharged and the water boiled away but it shouldn't've 'cause it's an "automatic battery charger" that's designed to stop charging when it's done... So, do I just add distilled H2O? Will that work? I have to walk to the store 1.5 miles (2.5 km) away and that's a long way to carry 1 gallon (4? L) of water... rK | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

I mean you need a new one.

That's why I asked if you wanted to walk twice. If you have any good beer in you fridge, tell a neighbor he can have a few cold ones if he would give you a ride to your new battery. Sorry for the levity, well not really. Good Luck, Tom | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

Please log in for more thread options I had a (sealed) battery charger and found a year later that I was
supposed to recharge "IT" once a month to keep it viable. I didn't. It's gone. Nancy | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
