Hook it up, plug it in, wait the recommended time limit.
you put the clip things on the dead battery and plug the charger in.
First of all if u battery is completely dead then its no use charging it. Go get a new one.. ya but if ur sure dat ur battery has still life den connectg it to a charger,connect the wires properly to the 4 terminals of ur battery. make sure that the rubber cover on ur battery terminal is not in contact with the wires.. Now chek ur battery’s voltage n set ur charger according to dat.. n turn on ur charger. dats it.. Also chek acid level.
I would pull the battery completely out of the car first. They’ve been known to explode from time to time. Place the battery in a dry area protected from the elements. Clamp the terminals of the charger to the posts of the batteries and turn it on. Most chargers go ‘low and slow’, meaning a lower electrical charge over a few hours’ time. The battery draws its power from chemical reactions, not pure electricity.
first thing you do is check to see if it has acid or fluid in it if it has caps… trying to charge a battery that is dry can run it.. second unless you have a charging problem on your car or truck.. its supposed to charge it self… if you dont have the equipment… take the battery to advance,autozone, oreilly or any national chain parts store they will check it for you before you ruin what might be a good battery…also if they tell you battery is good and you didnt leave lights on or something to run it down take it back and let em check the charging system on it as well..
Assuming the battery is good, the only way to fully charge a battery is to put it on a slow charge or “trickle” charge charger. These are available at any auto parts stores. Depending on the battery and how slow a charge you set the trickle charger, it could be anywhere from a few hours to overnight to give the battery a full charge.
