Dead slides

I have searched The Forum for this particular problem have not seen it listed anywhere. I have a 2016 Jayco Eagle 321RSTS - 3 slides. I stored the batteries improperly and they were dead. After recharging and reinstalling the batteries, only one slide would work. The other two on the kitchen side didn't even make a click. Someone suggested reset button on the slides. Is there such a thing? Did the dead batteries have any thing to do with the slides not working? Have not tried shore power yet but will try that tomorrow.

The slides operate off DC power.
My guess is that your battery had enough power to open one slide then it didn't have enough to do any other slide.
Did you check the voltage level on your battery?
Your battery could be toast.
I would definitely try it again with shower power hooked up as you indicated.

Thanks ROC-REQS. Headed out there now. No shore power available so I'm bringing a converter to run off of the truck.

improper maintenance of led acid batteries can do a lot of damage, special if they get drained past their limit. Take your batteries in for testing.

How long were the batteries "dead"? Depending on the situation they may be past the point of resurrection and as mentioned would only charge enough to get one of the slides open.

Thanks 2edgesword. I called Jayco Customer Support and they told me that there is a reset button for the slides behind a false panel somewhere in the storage compartment - either the one in front or the pass thru. He said to press it 6 times!
