If shorting the battery,and you see bubbles in any cell means your
battery has a shorted cell and a charge will not last.It might start if
you don't let it stand very long.In other words, you'll have to keep
flying,Oh what a live! LJ

If the battery is 3 years old I probably wouldn't have even bothered
trying to mess with the battery. After a few years of ownership now I
replace my battery every 2 years. Seems to avoid a lot of hard starts
that seem to appear out of nowhere leaving you stuck somewhere.

Hi,

My airplane has a Gill G-35 battery in it. The battery is less than 3
years old. We did a 10-minute run up about 2 weeks ago. The plane has been
sitting in it's hanger for the last 2 weeks. The master switch was OFF and
the battery was NOT on a charger.
