What's the charger voltage? It sounds like it could be a bad cap.

Did you add water?

I remember the last time I added pure distilled water.... my batteries 
performance sucked for about a month until the water level came back down a 
little.

I never did take SG measurements, but I'm sure they were diluted.

Next time... I'll take a measurement before adding water and based on that 
measurement make a determination to add either water or electrolyte or a mix 
of the two.

IF you added water, do like Chris says bypass the Landis and let em cook for 
a day. Or bump the Landis up a half volt or so.


It's cool in Canada....are your batteries cold?
