Could also be that after sitting for years the battery is fully sulfated.

If it's a 12 volt 26amp/hour battery then they cost $50 new from
www.surplusev.com. I just bought 54 of them for my electric car; really 
nice
batteries. Have been thinking of trying to run the E20 with a set of six of
them :-)
