So my Optima battery won't take a charge anymore. It's so dead that I can't even jumpstart it. I left it on trickle charge for over 24 hours and it's still dead. Is this common or usually unheard of?
(Fortunately I saved the receipt for this purchase!) |

I was told that trickle chargers don't work on a dead Optima. You need something like 60 amps to charge a dead Optima. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/confused24.gif)
