Is my battery too far gone?


Recommended Posts

Completely forgot I put a D3400 under the hood of my Burban, witch I don't drive at all. And forgot too put a charger on it...

Went and pulled it and finally got home and metered it...... 6.98v

Been sitting for a while.. Is it a lost cause?

did you try charging it up? put on slow charge for few hours, if you tried that and it metered that still... go try buying either some distilled water and put in it IF its low, or better autozone and get some of that battery acid if its low... if not and it still meters that after u slow charge it..... lost cause

7v? How long has it been sitting for?

Try a couple charge/drain cycles

Doesn't seem too low. Put it on a charger and keep checking it daily. Should be salvageable.

Hope so, only charger I have is a battery tender, think its this one

trickle charge it see if it holds

btw i hear if you have another battery of the same type it may help increase chances of bring it back if you charge it with it but i don't know if it is parrallel or in series that you charge it

spelling police btw which*

i believe i just took an ultimate ninja kick to the face :P
