^^^^have the batteries load tested....
If lead-acid chemistry batteries sit around discharged for long periods of time they suffer from sulfation

Depending on the severity of the sulfation, the battery may be recoverable or not. Sulfation reduces the available plate area in the battery to emit electons/current, so the battery capacity is reduced......eventually to being unusable.
Same thing happens when a lead-acid battery reaches the end of it's life ...the anode (plates) get so corroded there's just not much plate surface left to provide electrons/current, and the oxides formed on the plates don't conduct electricity so the battery is kaput.
Oxides don't conduct much at all, that's why rusty connections don't flow much current and why you have to scrape anodizing off of aluminum to get it to conduct. Anodizing is a electroplating process that oxidizes the aluminum surface in a controlled manner to provide corrosion protection.
