Glad you got it running. Watch that battery though, once you let them go down to 11.9V they are essentially damaged, lead-acid batteries dont like deep discharges.
Mine now has effectively 1/2 its original capacity or less. It will charge to 12.7 and pretend its fully charged, but as I recently read this is a surface charge which quickly drops to true voltage when you apply any small load. Mine quickly drops to 12.4 ~ 12.3V.
My S8 seems to crank longer the lower the battery voltage.
