Get a new battery then. The car and wiring should be fine.

 

Better yet, take it to autozone and have them worry about charging it.

Damet Paul, I thought you knew how to form sentences. Anyway, they should be able to look you up by your phone number that you gave them for the warranty; so no receipt should be necessary.

PLUS my moms friend got it, i didnt ,is it xferable?

 

If you have a receipt, you will get a new battery. If you have the name and phone number of the person that bought it, you should also get a new battery.

 

and if one store dont take it, try different stores. I had to try 4 different stores before I got them to take back my motorcycle battery, they telling me that I cant return motorcycle batteries.

 

when the arrows go "up" it means it's dead. When the arrows start pointing toward the bottom is when it is full charge. (see 100%). or something.

Is there also a switch for "deep cycle, maint. free, manual maint. free"?

ill get some pics, what exactly do you mean by dead, as in no good and wont hold a charge and i can get a new one?

 

nvm the pic at the tops shows it, its just a cheap charger, well 35 or something iirc

anyways yeah normally when i drain the battery it will pull 6 amps, like its supposed to this time i think its HELLA DEAD cuz it pulls almost double that and makes a louder than usual buzzing sound

and ive charged batterys with dead cells before, it starts at ~5 amps then goes down to full charge really quick, in a few minutes,

Dead as in it just needs a charge. Bad is bad, no bueno. Batteria nuevo.

Have you checked the water in the battery? Does it give off a rotten egg odor when charging? I would check the water and add some if it is low, then charge it again.

 

so its still OK? idk i ddnt smell it but ive already taken it out of that car, is it OK to charge batterys outside of the car?

It's recommended that you remove the battery from the vehicle prior to charging.
