    If you can, remove and charge each battery. When I installed a new DieHard Gold battery in my 2000 Taurus five months ago, I had to charge it for 3.5 hours first. Diesels require very strong batteries, so I'd recommend that you also charge them. Check the regulated battery voltage with a multimeter:
