We just acquired a locomotive. (see thread in Antique forum about it). It has a 32 volt system and there are four Interstate deep cycle batteries on board. All of the cells are empty. No electrolyte visible yet the plates do appear moist. The locomotive last ran in the spring and then was parked, so I think the electrolyte just evaporated over the summer.
What can I do to try to bring these batteries back to life? I pulled them out of the locomotive and they are here at home where I can put a charger on them. I'm not going to do anything until I get some advice from someone who knows what to do.
Thanks
