I drive a freightliner school bus it is a 2004 model. Last year the school recieved the bus in early june and the bus sat until about the first part of august. When i went to start it the batteries were dead and they would not accept a charge. So they put new batteries in the bus. And this year was the same thing. We have 3 others that are doing the same thing. What my question is why do they run down so quick? And another thing is that these batteries would get so hot that friday morning they boiled all of the water out of one battery. What my other question is why did they get so hot? I have an old battery at home that i tried to charge up and it also got hot like these batteries all that i used on that battery was a 10 amp charger. Is it a short in the battery or just the way they build them or what? Thanks for your help. Delbert
