Once a battery is totally drained you must connect it to a 2nd battery before charging or the charger will not know its connected to anything and not work. So 2sets of leads and 1 good battery required

Its better to buy a new one because even if you revive your dead battery, if will no longer stay long.

If you search Google for Epsom Salts, it is possible to revive a battery.

You may even be able to top it up with Sulphuric Acid, Google it.

Be very careful with Sulphuric Acid, do not leave it lying around where children could drink it.

In the UK, it is a criminal offence to try to commit suicide. A friend of mine last week tried to commit suicide by drinking Sulphuric Acid, the Police are charging him next week.

There are two types of car batteries. One is maintenance free. The other type requires topping up with distilled water every now and then. If your car battery is of the former type, then there is nothing much you can do about. But the latter type can be recharged and there are several shops in Sinayia that do this job. Just look around. However, if your battery is over a 18 months old, you might as well think of replacing it with a new one.
