    battery charging assistance

    Thanks for any help. I am not a DYI'er in any way. My 73S didn't wake up from winter hibernation this spring. I finally got my favorite towing folks to assist yesterday with a jump. I drove her home, let it run about 45 minutes before shutting off. I went out and tried to start about 6 hours later. Slight turn over then dead. I have a Shumacker charger that I connected this am. Still no luck. When I connected to the + pole I got sparking. The batteries are still 6 volt Interstates.

    Thoughts, ideas any help greatly appreciated. As soon as I get her running she is gong up for sale.

    Thanks.

    charging

    you may want to start with connections, making sure terminals are clean
    also the sparking when connecting is worth investigating ( maybe cross wiring)

    oh, forgive my ignorance but arent the twin batteries 12V each, hooked up in parallel like in RV's?
