Re: should i save old batteries
keep saving your money and get new ones. adding one new one will to 5 deads wont help much, waste of a good battery .

Or buy a used one that about the same age and condition as the other five.

Get new ones and take real good care of them and that will be your best value for the $$ you spend.

Re: should i save old batteries
mixing a new battery with old ones is a good way to decrease the life of the new one. Reason being is once the new one gets fully charged the others wont and the charger will continue to charge, overcharging the new battery.
AS STATED. save your money and get 6 new batts. You can run 12V of you want, but they wont give you run time and wont last as long. |
