My recently acquired '93 Newell has Interstate 8D batterys dated 2004. I'm not sure how long the coach has been sitting prior to my buying it but it sat outside in some 0 degree conditions this last winter. All batterys are dead but the main engine batterys have been taking a charge from my battery charger for almost 24 hrs. They started out taking 30 amp (max output for the charger) and are now down to around 15 amp. Is that a good sign? How long should they charge before I remove the charger and expect them to function properly?
Thanks
