Is there any procedure that I need follow to charge my deep cell
batteries? I have a "Marine" 12 volt charger. When I try to charge
them it seems to take a very long time and I have never charged them

take to charge a deep cell?
Here's a guess. You are probably trying to charge the battery with a
trickle battery charger. Probably need a larger charger.
Believe it or not, Wal-Mart sells a great "smart" charger - fully
encapsulated and while not rated as water proof, it is. I know from
practical experience.
If you have a smart charger and your battery is behaving like this,
it is probably shot.
