    Dead battery

    My Kubota’s only a couple/few years old and already a dead battery, by chance my ranger battery is on it’s last leg, my riding lawnmower battery is kaput and I have a stack of other dead batteries. This guy claims that this charger will fix any and all dead and depleted batteries and he has...
