I'm tinkering with a winter project for which I could use a little medium
voltage DC, but not much current nor many amp-hours.
I thought of some weary old 8v golf car batteries I've had sitting untouched
and unloved in the garage for several years. They were pretty well clapped
out, down to maybe 20-25 usable amp hours when I parked them there. I
wondered if they might still have 5 or 10 amp hours in them even after
sitting all this time.
Roland had some great advice, if you are in the mood to "play" with
them. With a lot of work, you literally *can* open the case, pull out
the plates, and service them as he described.
But my suggestion would be Dr. McCoy's advice. "He dead, Jim". :-)
Recycle the dead bodies, and use the proceeds to buy some new/used
batteries that actually work.
