Hi guys
i managed to accidentally flatten the dual cranking batteries in the cruiser. They are brand new N70 wet cell batteries, that were discharged to about 9 volts. They wouldnt crank the 1HZ over and struggle even with dash lights. Are they now likely to be farked/lifespan shortened as a result? any way to test or quantify it? any way to rehabilitate them?
I've tried searching by the way but outers search is a bit clunky
cheers.

Hi rockcrawler31, as murcod posted, get them on a charge as quickly as possible and until you charge them, you won’t know how they are.
You don’t need a big current charger just get them charging and if they are not damaged, they will fully charge and you will probably have no problems.
Taking batteries down to 9 volts is never recommended but it’s not uncommon for people to leave headlights on and take batteries down much lower and they have still been able to bring them back to life.

Get ya self a C-tek charger, they have a recondition setting that I have used to bring back two batteries my mechanic said where dead.
They are expensive but are the best around.

I have a C-tek and the recondition function is a lifesaver. I have reclaimed at least 9 batteries that were headed for the recyclers.
As stated above, get them on a charger ASAP. It doesen't really matter what charger, just as long as they are charging.

ill keep looking thoughHi Ice, unless you have a particular reason for fast charging your battery(s) it’s actually better for the battery to have a slow ( low current ) recharge.Corgie Carrier wrote:How big are your batteries?
The 7 amp will charge a 225a/hr battery in 24 hours.
That is plenty big enough for any 4x4 battery.

The xs7000 is recommended for batteries from 20ah to 225ah.
Charging in parallel should be ok, what is the total amp/hr? If above 225 you may need to go to the xs25000.
As far as a dead flat battery goes, the table on the box (xs7000) says that it can charge a dead flat battery, ready to drive, in 10 minutes.
