go to a battery wharehouse or the like. let them test it to see if the battery is good or not. if it is no good i can almost guarenty they will have a new one in stock.

had to go get one for my dads scooter last year. i think the price for the new battery was 20 or 25 dollars

It's possible it's a bad battery as the charger may think the battery's full but in actuality it just can't hold a charge. As mentioned above have it checked out at a battery store(Radio Shack) to be sure. Battery: Sea-Doo Seascooter GTI Battery or if you need only the leads to build your own battery: Sea-Doo Sea Scooter Battery Leads

Can anyone tell me how many volts a good battery will show? I picked up a couple used GTI's and know the batteries are pretty old. Some of them do power the GTI. However I don't want to risk taking the units out only to find out they are lasting a short life.

well i finally put the old battery to rest, (professionally disposed-off) and bought a new one.

found out a couple of things,

1) always charge it fully before using.
2) charge it fully after using.
3) could not squeeze one and one half hour out of it though it says 2 on the label.
4) no it cannot be re-conditioned

It's also a good idea to charge it up every couple months especially during winter storage as SLA batteries tend to die when not being used
