Isn't there a boilerplate How-To guide somewhere that would explain all the basic battery stuff in layman's terms.
Unless you are mechanically inclined start off by yellow pages. Find a real, authentic battery shop. Some automotive electrical rebuilders sell batteries and understand them. You need to get those batteries to their shop and have them professionally charged and tested. Load tested AND hydrometer tested after charging.
Yes, you can destroy batteries in a year. You need to learn why and how to prevent it. My first question above is for fellow forum contributors to direct you to a developed site to put you on a basic learning curve.
