Yes they did, tested both packs, only one dead, and it was a 200 dollar battery... hard to grasp such lawnmower battery is 200 bucks. Heck, I've seen equal sized Lithium Iron LiFePo AUX14 batteries for less than that, which would probably work a lot better too. But in the end its all moot point, since the StartStop thingy will allow me to keep this thing turned off forever, I just had it fixed so the van is 100% functional.
