[Shop-talk] Resurecting a totaly dead battery ?

[Pat Horne]

Possibly. I am partial to older vehicles that don’t have a lot of electronics. My newest vehicle is almost 20 years old, oldest 55 years old. I don’t have battery problems on either of them even after 2 months. Haven’t tried longer. 

That aside, take it back to see what they say. Doesn’t cost anything. 

Peace,
Pat

This is humor, right?

With any recent vehicle the parasitic loads will kill the battery in 6-8 weeks.
