I Think I Killed My Optima


Recommended Posts

So i was doing my door work last weekend and i had the key on acc. so i could get the door glass back in the door. Well i guess i left it on.

the yellow top is down to 3 volts. can it be saved? how? I only have a little charger that max's at 6 amp and it keeps "faulting".

You should try to give it a 20 ~ 25 Amp Charge for about an Hour or Two I've had to do this before and then once and if you get a decent Voltage reading give it a 1 or 2 Amp overnight just to top it off :D

x2 on the jumping of the car, it usually works for me. My chime went out and yea do i need to say more? I would jump it and let it run for a while and it will be fine. Or go to like an oriely auto parts and bring the bat in there and be like can i get my batery tested? and they will charge it up before they test it.

Not to be a smartass or anything, but at my work, O'Reillys, we can test it to see its charge voltage, %of charge, then we will put it on the charger, after all that, well know if its good or not.

yellow tops are deep cycle, which means thay are designed to be able to be completely drained and then charge right back up no problem. so it should be fine. i've had a big yellow top (the ones for 18 wheelers) for over 4 years and its been drained below 6 volts severel times and charges back up just fine every time
