Hi jplante4,

AGM batteries are far less likely to have the problem.

Surprised no one mentioned the most common cause of batteries not charging - dirty terminals. Take all the wires off the terminals and clean them shiny bright with a wire brush or sandpaper (stay away from steel wool says the voice of experience). Put everything back together tightly and coat all terminals with some sort of grease that will prevent future corrosion.
