New Battery Charger
After the failed start up I decided that the culprit were the batteries. I took them out of the car and checked the built in indicators on them and one was showing red, and the other was showing black. The label on the batteries say that a fully charged battery will show a green indicator, 50% discharged will show black, and 100% discharged will show red. There were also some corrosion on the terminals that I have cleaned up. I bought a battery charger from AutoZone that will charge deep cycle batteries at 2 and 10 amps per hour (switchable). I am going to start charging one now, and then charge the other one overnight. Here are some pictures.
One of the two batteries – they are GNB (Exide?) Stowaway 800 CA Deep Cycle batteries.
Looking down at the indicator – you can see it is red.
The new battery charger.
