Read the label to find out how many ampere-hours worth of charge the battery can store.

If it says "60 ampere-hours" then, if it is in good condition, it should be able to deliver a current of near to 60 amps for 1 hour or 30 amps for 2 hours or 1 amp for 60 hours, etc.

The condition of any battery will deteriorate over time: depending on its original quality and the kind of use it has been subjected-to. Like most things in life, the more you pay for something, the better quality you will get, you only get what you pay for! If it is subjected to very heavy discharges, such as often having to crank a very cold car engine for several minutes - which could take 600 amps on a big engine - then its normal life span could be severely reduced.

So, depending on its original quality, after an initial period of from 3 to 5 years, you must expect a battery's ampere-hour capacity to reduce more and more until eventually the battery will not hold any useful charge any more and it will have to be replaced.

How many AMPS will a 10 AMP 12 volt charger charge a 36 volt three battery in series system with?

A 10 amp charge will only output 10 amps and 12 volts. So, if you want to charge thee 12 volt batteries hooked in series you will have to disconnect the positive cable from each battery and charge then individually. You cannot charge three 12 volt batteries hooked in series. That requires a 36 volt charger.
