Date/lot number sticker says 0507-48... guessing 2005 or 2007 vintage?
Steel Soldiers now has a few new forums, read more about it at: New Munitions Forums!
The one in your picture is a sealed battery. The ones he is talking about is a normal battery which has caps so he can add water.So did you pry out the six little plugs? Or do your batteries look different from mine? I've now tried three different chargers on mine and none of them work. The last one is a 40A charger but it just automatically goes into float mode when I hook them up. Anything I can do to try to salvage them? Maybe they're just low on water too?
This is what mine look like:

Based on your recommendation I have hooked up a Noco Genius G7200. I'm only using one for maintenance. Within 30 minutes of hooking it up, mine showed solid green 100%, after the truck had sat for two weeks including temps in the 30's at night. On 24v it only puts out 3.6 amps but that seems plenty to keep them charged. I had been wanting to get a maintainer and so far I like the Noco. Thanks!I use a 200 amp Schumacher charger to heat them up for an couple hours then switch to a pulsetech X2 xtreme or NOCO Genius for dual battery installs such as every generator I have. I did the same for my vehicles and I use either the pulsetech or noco chargers. Both have brought and maintain bad AGM batteries back from the dead that were less than 3V when I received them. Keep the chargers attached since it takes time ( a few weeks) to get the storage capacity back up after severe discharge has set in! I mount an X2 xtreme in every MEP generator we sell. Put the pulsetech pulse unit onboard and it will do it's thing while you drive around. I am not trying to sell pulsetech by the way! Just get a good desulfating AGM charger and use the maintenance cycle religiously.
