Post summer battery pack problems

[bonker]

I'm sure there is a solution to this. AFter a long summer erst my tripple shot battery pack doesn't want to play ball. It sort of works but sort of doesn't. sort of charges but sort of doesn't.

Any advice on how to get it going properly.

I'm currently opting for the run it flet and charge it, run it flat and charge it option.

Sort of buy a new one? Sort of got too flat over summer without being charged. Sort of bad luck.

NiMh?

Put it on normal charge.

Run for a minute or so.

Put back on charge.

Repeat this a couple more times.

If still no good, it's scrap.

More likely to happen with old Lead acids....

Give Jim's suggestion a try.

The battery issues (as with anything) was one reason I went for AA batteries in my lights.
