No, were not uncharged. I charged them over the 2 years they sat in my garage, just used the wrong voltage the first day and now I have trouble with my 12V systems.
Doesnt sound like his batteries are dead. Could just be a dirty ground.
You could probe the battery terminal and have someone turn on the water pump. Take note of the voltage drop.
Also try probing the lead battery terminal, then probe the actual wire. Ive seen a huge difference when you probe the nut that tightens the wires down, versus probing the actual lead terminal.
