Ok, two things to try here, this is the FIRST and LAST options (different
batteries tenders are all the steps in between.)
FIRST- bring it back to where you bought it, most likely there is a
warrantee. Most places (like Walmart and such) don't care (or know how
to) test the battery and just give you a new one.
LAST thing to try, before buying a new battery. WARNING- if you are a
eco-warrior, you may want to skip this! I know the thought of this may be
re*volt*ing! 8>)
If the battery is not a sealed battery, dump all the battery acid out of
the core. Refill with normal water and rise it out a couple of times.
Note, recover ALL the water as it is hazardous.
Once cleaned out, fill with battery acid and put on charger. There is
about a 50% chance of this restoring even a sulfated battery this way.
Dispose of the waste water properly.
