Joe, most battery chargers will not put out anything if the batteries are severely discharge. You might try and jump your batteries. Just take a good battery and combine them for a short time. When your old batteries have about 6-8 volts in them try the charger again. If the batteries sit discharge for more than a couple of weeks, its probably too late. Jeff

I am running an outboard model (Honda 9.9 4 stroke with charger) and minimum of power needs. I have running lights, anchor and steaming lights, cabin lights, bilge pump, VHF radio, small Garmin chart plotter and a stereo. Does anyone have recommendations for size batteries I should get?
