Batteries not charging... - corwin kozminski - 11-09-2005 10:08 it looks like the batterys need a big charge like 50 or more amps to bring them back. it could take 8 or more hours per battery rogerwwebb and discovered the problem to be one dead (fried) battery in the bank of three engine batteries. Checking the voltage with the batteries tied together gave a false impression of adequate charge. So, you might want to check each battery individually when you're cleaning the connections/posts.
