The Stovebolt Site Forums The Shop Area The Electrical Bay Bring a few months old battery back to life? What am missing here?

I left my running lights on with trickle charger on for about 5 days. Now the battery seems dead, won't take a charge. Shows less then 2 volts.

While trying to determine the problem, I did top off the cells with distilled water and didn't see any change. All of the battery plates were always under acid level.

What caused the battery to die? It was being charged, yet drained. Anything I can do to bring it back to life?

The 6-volt battery was only a few months old.

Thanks for your comments.
