The float charger finally had the little "charged" light come on this morning so I unplugged it. When I got back home, I turned the float charger back on it for kicks, and it no longer registered as "charged". At times like this, I wish I had a digital voltmeter (Harbor Freight says they're comin') I might just be better off running 48v for a while, but then again I am hoping that I can kick some life back into my worst batteries. Hey, they BETTER work for $7!!!!! I told my mom about my batteries over dinner and I explained to her that, of the eight I bought, one was dead right off the bat, and that I had 3 more that were very borderline and she said "can't you give them back?"

"Mom - When you buy a bag of potatoes from the grocery store, do you dig through them when you get home and take back the ones with bad spots?"
