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.
Well, I already made a small attempt at reviving them without much luck- I was just going to recycle them for a little more cash than I paid for them; But since you seem to think they might come back, I'll try a little harder before I give up on them. On another note, I am toying with the idea of stretching the limits of my $500 EV by breaking down and getting a PB-6 from eBay for $57.99 with $6 shipping and getting that last 3/5 throttle. I should easily hit 35 mph with that. I don't know why I just can't leave well enough alone. Even at 39, I am not mature enough to have a car that suits my needs 100% without wanting to hot-rod it. But then, I also know that if I torch my motor I'll find a burly big brother to replace it in short order.....
