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

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. Roger WebbCedar
