The method I've used is to use a non-smart (stupid?) manual charger to kick it with some juice to bring it up to the smart-charger's minimum voltage, then remove the non-smart charger and finish with the smart charger. </div><div class=""><br class=""></div><div class="">Kent McLean</div><div class="">1956 100 BN2</div><div class=""><br class=""></div></body></html>
