There's an old motor home on our property we want to get rid of. It was
driven into place about three years ago. Apparently, no one checked the
batteries, and they are all dried now, I would guess fried. Can one fill
with electrolyte, charge, and hope for a Hail Mary? Or just go get new
batteries........ three of them.

You only need one to drive it out. Fat chance getting a dried out
battery back to life.


Kinda figgered. Didn't think of the one battery idea. I got two in the
boat, and maybe it's time to sacrifice one, and get a new one for the boat
..............

One battery looks to be just to the ignition. The second has about four
wires to each terminal. The third has just two. I'd say the second and
third are for house power when parked. Just keep the wires together, and
should be good to go.

That would be very believable and plausible to SWMBO, might even get me a
star on the fridge...........
