On the flip side, I have two Maxx29 Wal-Mart batteries that are only one year old and one is in the 8v range, and the other is under 1v. I am surprised that the previous owner didn't take advantage of the 18 month free replacement warranty....
A solid pack is great! That is surprising how they previous owners didn't cash in on the free replacement. I did right before my warranty expired just because I could. I do think you can revive those MAXX29 as I have done with extremely good results. A few hours with a 15.6 volts equalizing charge and a few cycles with a 12.5+ AMP charger and those suckers should come back to a nice life.
