Hook up a good 6 volt charger and let slow charge for at least 24 hours . This works 95 % of the time . Good luck .

The scissors lift that I need has also been idle that long. No electrolyte visible, not on a charger. What can I do to try to resurrect the 4- 6V batteries? Add water, plug in, charger built in, and hope for the best? Google leads me to various potions that I view as snake oil.
