Dead battery

<< < (2/2)

basketcase:
Thanks everyone, it`s now on charge! I`ve an old car battery charger with a choice of both 6 and 12 volt and trickle and boost!!  Going to try 24 hours on trickle then another 24 on boost, if no good after that then I`ll opt for a new one ( I`m a bit on the tight side too!!)
Cheers Nigel.

I'd go with thers on charging too.

Bit tight is now in vogue, we've all become conservation experts now! Ha, save the planet and all that.

I don`t know about saving the planet....the battery has been on charge now for 2 days!! Think of all the electric used  ;) And I`ve been using the polishing mops in my electric drill! And boiling the kettle for endless drinks. And the radio blasting out!! I should be locked up ;D

If you do decide to go with a new battery check out these guys for an option.  http://www.shoraipower.com/   I saw them at a trade show and they are literally less than half the weight, no battery acid to ever deal with and they can hold charge up to a year without ever recharging. Lithium to so you can put them sideways, regular, whatever. Kinda pricy but really cool. Cheers
