well i didn't know people got that much life out of them. I have a set of 8 volt trojans on the floor in the garage right now. I hooked a meter up to them yesterday and they was all around 3 volts. I wonder if i should bother hooking them all back up and trying to charge them. When we first got the cart one of them was showing nothing and the charger wouldn't kick on. Can i use the desulfate feature with a standard battery charger to bring these back to life?
