I've never seen it in real life, but I've read that if a new battery is not fully charged before use, or if it's charged too quickly, it may not properly hold a charge. I believe the manufacturers recommend the charging rate not exceed 1/10 of the battery's capacity (in amps). So, a 14 amp battery should not be charged at a rate exceeding 1.4 amps/hour. Happy to stand corrected if this is incorrect.
