1 year without juice not good for battery.
conservatively that's 8-10 month dead.
take the batteries to a GOOD VENDOR
and have them charge/load test using the proper equipment.
OR just use the batteries as they is, and while they still have SOME capacity....
it's possible with partial discharges, followed by immediate FULL ON recharges, they can be resurrected some.
1. don't rely on the solar panels for this, PLUG IN TO SHORE POWER...
2. the wall display is WILDly misleading to the uninformed viewer...
how it works and what is shows and what the limitations are has been carefully covered in many many threads...
without REPEATING all of that, the simple analogy is this...
--swim in a big ocean, that is WARM on the surface (that's the display reading)
--then DIVE 50-100 feet where the water is much much cooler (that's the real charge state)
big ocean is primarily COOL except for a tiny bit of surface water...
so the 100% reading is surface voltage NOT equilibrated battery voltage.
one can check the charge after 1-2 hours (with a small draw like a LITE)
and read the display for a more reliable (still not accurate) voltage...

best o luck and hopefully some1 will come along and post the correct stuff now...
cheers
