Re: new batteries are dead
They may have been improperly stored ie: with no charge in them.
I know with car batteries (non-sealed) you can "shock charge" them back to life but I won't even speculate what would happen if you tried this on a sealed battery. A vented battery during this process actually boils the electrolyte and produces a great amount of flammable Hydrogen gas. NOT a safe process by any means. I would recommend calling AndyMark and requesting replacements.
