Re: (ET) batteries



Did the controller relay fail "closed" and leave the charger running?  I've seen that happen a couple times. If that's the case, you batteries are cooked.  I haven't seen anyone bring batteries back to new"ish" after cooking them.  There are a lot of methods to try, but you may end up needing new batteries...especially with only a 5 minute run time.  Good luck.

I left my tractor plugged in to a charge controller all winter to keep up the charge and now I have very little capacity in the batteries.  I can get about 5 mins. running time. Is there anything I can do to revive them?
