sorry not IDI related.

discovered today that the battery in my dad's car is totally dead. a brand new duralast battery. the other day i was doing some testing of the rear defroster. i left the key on for 4 days.

i hooked the bat up to the charger and had it on trickle for 2 hrs. that did not start the car. i read in my book that i have for school that a totally dead battery should be charged for about 8 hrs when charging around 5 amps. so tomorrow before i go to work i am going to charge the battery again and then when i get home from work try starting the car.

do those numbers sound about right? what kind of chances am i looking at that the battery could be no good now?


thanks

 

Numbers sound right. Every chance battery is good.

 

thanks

hopefully tomorrow after i get is charged for the correct length of time it will hold the charge and work.
