PlethoraOfGuns said:That's a shame. Real nice, tight, neat battery bank you have there. 12v batteries are "dead" when they hit about 10.5v and 50% around 11.8v. A good, charged 12v battery will read almost 13v when at 100%. AGM batteries will be damaged if they are taken below 50%, aka 11.8v. If those batteries were sitting like that with those voltages for extended period of time, they are unfortunately probably no good. But definitely try to revive them.

never use spray foam that you buy at the hardware store on any automotive sheet metal.
