Battery SG
I have two GC2 batteries that I did not check on when I should have. The few day ago, when looking at them I found I gassed out the water. I added water 1gal total. Put a charge on them( with big hope...

Wow, a full gallon.
I doubt they will have much of their capacity left.
Consider why they got so dry. Too high a float voltage in too much heat. Blame the converter/ charging source.
Getting the Specific gravity back upto 1.275 and a resting voltage of 12.7+ might be possible.
While people assume a load test requires a special tool, one basically performs a basic load test each night they camp without hookups.
after they are as charged as you can get them. Use them as hard as you would camping and see if voltage can remain in the 12's or quickly falls to the 11's.
Am not so sure how valid the autoparts store load testers are on Golf cart batteries anyway.
A full attempt at recovery could be a waste of time, but feeding them 10 to 11 amps until voltage reaches 16v or SG 1.275+ is likely the only method that might work.
