Brandon15zzz Posted November 11, 2011 Report Share Posted November 11, 2011 I would say no. I had a stinger batt that rested at 11.7 and charged it for a day. As soon as I took it off the charger it immediately dropped let it sit for like another day or 2 not charging at it dropped to like 11.3.

Nathan @ XSpower Posted November 14, 2011 Report Share Posted November 14, 2011 Depending on how long it sat that low you may be able to bring it back. When a sealed battery sits below 12.6V it starts to get sulfation build up on the plates in the battery. This is like a crystallization that forms on the plates and to some extent it kills that portion of the plate. What can happen is that the sulfation builds up on the plate and actually attaches to other plates, which can cause the battery to short out a cell. Best way to see if you can bring it back is to use a AGM charger to charge it up and then put a big load on the battery to draw it back down. You will need to do this a few times (sometimes 10 or more times). This can sometimes break up the sulfation on the plates and bring the battery back to a serviceable condition. It will not be 100%, but you may be able to bring it back to work for you. As others have said if you do not want to deal with it just take it to a recycle center and get what you can from it. Or if you want you are more than welcome to send it in here and I will have the guys work on it for you and see if we can bring it back for you. It does take some time, so please keep that in mind.
