IB cells 2 years without a charge !

[andys]

Help...

I've 5 packs of IB's that I bought just before I stopping racing for a couple of years. They are all pretty much brand new. What should I do to bering them back to life being that they have being stored flat (or at least they are now..) for two years ?

I've tried charging a pack at 3 amps but it keeps false peaking ?

Thanks.

Andy.

Could just sell them on ebay, they have only had around 2 or 3 charges each, just don't mention the fact that they are 2 years old !!!!!!!

I'm having a play to see if they will charge... fingers crossed.

On another similar matter.

Just charged up my leisure battery for 24 hours and it's not holding a charge at all. When I connect my charger it says 'Low Input' so is it knackered ?

the leisure battery did got warm, which is troubling. I've turned it off charge now to let it rest in peace, is there anything I can do with it ?

Ta.

Update.

After putting a bit of charge in the IB's and then equalizing them, they appear to be just fine, so not going in the bin after all

12 Volt totally dead. After charging for 2 days registered 8 volts.... Now residing at the council tip with similar condition car batteries.
