2012 International AC dead - no start

[LeepinLeemur]

Hi All,
My 2012 International AC has been sitting for a couple of years, so I'm not surprised that it is not starting.
Turning the key does nothing, no power at all.
I connected my jumpstarter and it appeared to be showing 13-13.2V, but did not help with the starting. Could it be one of the two batteries is bad? What should I look at next?

disconnect the batteries if you have two of them and charge them separately.
not going to be in an hour or two maybe 24 hours on each or drop them off at your local auto parts store and let them charge them and load test them.
setting that long there is a chance that they are bad.

Do what jolly said. Disconnect the batteries from everything. Charge each individually. After you unhook the charger, wait 1/2 hour and check the battery voltage. if less than 12.5 or so volts, the batteries are toast. Better is to charge them and take to auto parts store and load test.

Batteries should not be left unused for that long without being hooked to a charger/maintainer. By boat has an onboard charger/maintainer and the original batteries lasted 9 years and were still strong but i replaced them anyway just to be safe. And the boat sits outside in cold Kentucky winters, which is even harder on batteries.

Lead/acid batteries MUST be kept charged or they won't live long.

Good luck and keep us posted,
Marty

Thanks All.
Autozone did say they were dead.

Hopefully the replacement ones will work. I will try soon.

I replaced the batteries and it started right up. The brake pressure was beeping but it still started, so maybe it was because it hadn't run in awhile I'll see if that happens again. But really glad it starts now!
