The batteries wouldn't even take a charge.
My girlfriend owns a newer Honda. The battery went dead after sitting many months. At first my charger read an error, not accounted for by instructions. But then it took a full charge. Started, great, ran it for a bit. My girlfriend tried it a few days later however, it won't start, not enough juice. Perhaps there's a short or somethin', she says nothing left on. IMO it just needs a new battery.

If you have a battery that doesn't seem to take a charge, running it on high amperage 20 minutes or so will usually break up enough sulfate to get it to take a charge.
