how long does it take to charge batteries?

[Old Goat & Grace]

We aren't sure why, but all three of our batteries went dead. So we got it started up, and plugged in. How long does it take to get charged?

(Good thing it happened at the storage lot and not out on the road - good news is it fixed my frozen navigation/radio screen.)

It's a new Axis 25.6.

Thanks,
Grace

I'd give them six to eight hours, and then see how things are looking.

Depends upon how far discharged they were. Since this happened in storage, best guess is that they were severely discharged. If the voltage was down around less than ten volts, they may be toast. Charge for 24 hrs. remove from charge source, wait a few hrs. then check voltage. If the voltage is down under 12v at that time, it's new battery time.

Happened to me. Now I manually disconnect batteries both house and chassis in storage.
