anybody know how to resurrect a dead motor cycle.
   apparent it sat around too long.
   Voltage is about 8 volts open circuit.
   Won't take a charge.
   Is it just trash?

I've been told to clamp it in a paint shaker for a few minutes. This is
supposed to break up the sulfate crystals....

That interesting.  Thanks. I'll give it a try.

BTW I have not been running the RV4 lately so that scared me and I took
the batteries out to trickle charge them. They both appear to be still OK.

   I have never been able to save a motorcycle battery once it gets that low.

I just found another motorcycle battery in the hangar. Same problem.
The last is a Yuasa made in Japan.
The first was a STI made in China.

These guys must be making a fortune selling motor cycle batteries.
