    Service Batteries - run out of charge

    As dingbat said, the batteries need to be load tested. You don't charge a battery and measure the voltage then say they're good. Also waiting to hear the age and size of the batteries. Are they wet cell? If so have you checked the water level?

    Best technique for waterproof solders?

    First, try to minimize the number of splices. Use butt connectors instead of twisting wires. Slide a piece of heat shrink tubing over the wire. Crimp butt connector then cover with liquid tape and let it dry. Put heat shrink tubing over the butt splice heat it then cover with more liquid tape.
