[QUOTE="loopkiller, post: 5488471, member: 601690"] It will take a week or more to charge an HC2400 with a trickle charger, if you ever could really get a full charge on it. You more than likely would only get a surface charge on a big battery like that. Step 1) Check the voltage of the batteries with a DMM. If above 12.6v, no need to charge. Step 2) If below 12.6v then take them to Autozone or a similar autoparts store and ask them to charge them for you. It should be free and should take about an hour or two. Step 3) If you ever put them in storage like that again, make sure they ahve a full charge first and put the trickle charger on them while they are stored. That will keep them fully charged until you use them again. [/QUOTE]
