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!)

Optima facts... Optima

Can you trickle charge an OPTIMA? Solar card charger?
Yes, you can use any charger on an OPTIMA as long as the voltage is regulated properly. If your charger will remain on indefinitely the voltage should be at 13.8 volts maximum with a one amp maximum current.
