[DeTomaso] Dead Battery

[Julian Kift]

There are smart chargers available that have a desulfating program, not sure how much life they restore to a dead battery, but some unit's ratings are pretty positive.

It depends on how long the battery has been dead.  If a good battery goes dead overnight because you left the lights on and you charge it up the next day, its good to goBut if it sits dead for a month the plates get sulfated up and the battery is ruined.  It might seem OK for a bit but it will leave you stranded somewhere.

  A NOCO Genius battery charger was able to charge a battery that
  appeared dead.

    So, went to the Garage this morning to fire up the Pantera, to take
  it
    for a ride, since it hasn't been started in a Couple of Months! I
  know,
    I know. Well, the Car turned over a few times then Click, Click,
  Click!
    Well Damn! So, I pulled the Battery out, put it on the Charger, the
    gauge went to about 9. it was on the Charger about 4 hours, the gauge
    was now at 4. Reinstall and Click, Click, Click again! Crap, then I
  saw
    the little sticker on the side of the Battery 9/11! LOL Seemed like
    only yesterday I got the damn thing, Well Crap, has it been that
  long!
    So, a trip to Costco in the Morning! Well, I guess I got my Money's
    worth!
    Still a Nice day! Check your Batteries! LOL
