Battery Charger

[jmill75]

Question, I have a dead boat battery, I have a charger I bought last year that plugs into an ac outlet to charge the device....can i plug the charger into an ac outlet and hook the connections to the battery and jump it that way...is this safe?

Thanks

Re: Battery Charger

The charger is not for jumping, it's for charging. Plug the charger in, connect to battery making sure poles are correct & let it sit until the charger shows about 1-2 amps being drawn. A really dead battery, if it takes the charge at all, could take 24 hours to charge. Check water level in battery b/4 charging it, if it's low add distilled water. You should take the caps off when charging a near dead battery. Trying to jump with a charger could cause charger to fry. (not safe)
