Guess I'm lucky, I brought a 8 - 10 year old dead battery back with some
rocky mtn spring water from my hose and cleaning the terminals. Then charged
it with the cheap charger at 2 amps for 24 hours or so.
Works like a charm. Wish I could say the same for the rest of the car. It
smokes so bad that I had to turn around 1/2 block from my house because the
cockpit filled with smoke. Quickly put it back in the garage before the
neighbors saw who caused the smoke screeen.\!
