[QUOTE="Ridge Runner, post: 608141, member: 3775"] Something is not right here, for one the chance of 6 batteries all dying at the same time is about 1 in a 100 million, Another thing is AGM's have a BMS Battery Management System, and if they are not Charging properly they get Lazy and will not charge, The way to fix this is to charge each one with a 20+A normal Battery charger until the voltage reaches around 14.4 to 14.7v and then hook it up to a 20A+ Smart Charger and Charge it and do this to each one of them then run them down to around 50 to 70% and recharge them with the Smart Charger and they should come Good, This happened to my Van due to the lack of use because of the Lockdown So I bought a new AGM and the same happened to it, So I did all of the Above to the Old Battery and it came back to life and then I did it to the New AGM and it came back too, I have since then put back the Original Ford AGM back in the Van and it is working well and the new one is running a Fridge, hope that helps.
