I have a Xantrex 12v rechargeable 600 Power Pack battery. Yesterday I
charged it up and then attached a 12v smaller alarm battery. I forgot
to check a few hours later. However, 8 hours later I disconnected the
two and found the alarm battery at 11.1 volts, and the Xantrex at 0%.
I'm recharging the Xantrex now. Did I somehow harm it?

Not enough info. Any answer would be a guess.

Well, I just recharged the Xantrex. I'll watch the charge over several
days.

I sure didn't get any help from Xantrex on the this matter. They have
discontinued the battery. It had a six month warranty, but I bought it
14 months ago. After two days, it has dfropped to 70% charged. I'll try
the recharge tomorrow of the alarm battery with a far cheaper power pack
that I've used to kick car batteries into action.
