One of the reasons I keep hammering on TRUE DEEP CYCLE like six volt Golf Car batteries over Marine/Deep cycle batteries is this.
In the 8.5 years I've had my Interstate U-2200s (A GC-2 size Golf Car battery) they have been run down to the point where lights won't give off noticable light a few times.. More times than I care to admit.
Still, they lasted eight and a half years.. They came back over and over again.
Alas, the last time (Shorted cell) They did not.
But I'd say tney have recovered at least 10 times.
Starting batteries run down that far... Generally do not recover, this includes Marine/Deep cycle.
SO, the moral of this post: Charge 'em back up and see what happens. Don't get out your checkbook before tomorrow at the earliest.
