thelogo. charging your dead optima, cheap fix procedure Options

[rhodyguy]

not wanting to buy a new battery to replace my almost fully discharged (.4 v) one i found this online. take a KNOWN fully charged bat and connect the dead one in parallel with a set of jumper cables, +to+ and -to-. connect the charger to the dead bat and charge for 1 hour. then remove the jumpers and charge the previously dead one as normal. it worked GREAT!! not wanting to overcharge by letting the trickle charger run all night i stopped last evening and i checked the v this am. lost .1 volts. on a recharge mode this am for a full charge. if successful its money in the bank.

I went.with the home depo 20 $ maintainer by black

And decker but........... The directions specifically state that you
Do not use on dry cell home appliance type batteries

The dry cell is the part that has me concerned . As ooptima red
Is I guess ? A dry cell

But supposed smart chargers work so I'm trying it

The red top is pretty much a write off for me at this point I'm sick of it

Shame really , but this will be a last ditch effort and if it deforms or b

Then screw it!!!___
