Is there any way to revive a small dry cell battery that the voltage has dropped on ? Never driving my car and not putting a tender on it dead it

 

i just put mine on the charger after it had been siting for 2 years to revive it

 

Battery Tender has brought back dry cell batteries for me.

 

sweet thats what i was hoping to hear,gonna give that a shot.

Thanks!

 

well had it charging for about 2 days, couldnt get it above 10.5 volts. think that is the end of the line?

 

Make sure you use a tender not a trickle. I brought a battery back with a trickle and it died two weeks later.

 

Your charger must have an ouput voltage of 15.5-16 volts to successfully revive a dry cell battery.

 

Take it to Advance Auto or Autozone they have the special chargers to revive that type of battery, you are not supposed to use a standard 12 volt battery charger for those types of batteries.

Also if it is an Optima it probably is a goner LOL...

 

I brought a heal toe to them and they killed it, it swelled up and was dead lol.

 

My Optima went dead and I put a Battery Tender on it and it came back. Though I was lucky.

 

my Optima was not so lucky. could not bring back to life so just trashed it. I guess the Gel dried up or something they explained to me.
