Lead acid batteries "died"

nurik922

Hi everyone
Posting in this thread since I think it is somehow related to my issue as well
I bought this 6v batter for my son's electic car few months ago and did not almost use it.

https:// www. funstuff. ie/6v-6-7ah-lead-acid-battery/

Recently when starting the car, I noticed that both batteries died (the car is 12V thus 2 batteries) - I'd assume it is because last time my son used the car he left it with almost no charge and then noone used the car for few months.

Batteries are quite new and used maybe 5-6 time, thus can you please advise how I can make them "alive" again? To add acid? or electrolyte? or distilled water? where to buy them? or maybe any garage in dundrum area where it can be fixed for few quids since the new batteries will cost me 40 eur?

You need to charge them. See https://www.lifewire.com/car-batteries-are-made-to-die-534765 , section "What Should You Do With a Drained Battery".

A lead-acid battery will suffer irrepairable damage if left uncharged for that length of time. They can't be repaired.

Yeah, they're dead dead.

Try charging them, you might revive them. You could try Liam in LME motorcycles, Windy Arbour, he would advise re batteries, charger, etc.
