Battery not flat had battery charger on it for 3

The battery is flat? You can get a jump start if you know someone with long battery leads (use the type with a voltage surge suppressor in-line). Alternatively buy a small battery charger and hook that up overnight (they are inexpensive)

BTW if you drive a Corvette you really should have a battery charger (just joking here)

Unless the battery charger is a high power over 12amp hours charge rate you should be looking at 12-18 hrs minimum as the battery is a 78Ah unit for the 2 litre you may get of with 6 hrs but that may give 3-4 start attempts before recharge required

Hello! Due to Charger Voltage Compatibility: Never use a battery charger unless the battery voltage matches the output voltage rating of the charger...Therefore do not use a 6-volt charger on a 12-volt battery and visa-versa...

I’m happy to help further over the phone at https://www.6ya.com/expert/david_6df67de3b14de867

Usually you can energize the electrical system by making a mini set of jumper cables using a lamp cord and alligator clips. attach one end to a battery and attach the ground to the starter housing or any metal bracket, the positive lead to the main terminal on the starter. (don't mix up the lead ends...mark them so you can identify them.) Do not try to start the car with this attached. light wire won't handle the amperage.

If you replaced the battery could it be possible that you might have a loose connection or forgotten a wire? I would start there first.

I've got an old corvette that I store also. I basically disconnect the battery and when I'm ready I charge it for 3 hrs, then start the car. Usually get close to 6 and a half years out of a battery. Five ain't so bad.

not its not coverd under hpp, but if the belt is slipping it wont charge very well, also an alternator was never intended to recharge a flat battery only to keep it toped up,,, if its tottle flat it would be best to recharge it with a mains charger first as the alternator will never fully charge it from flat,, unless you drive around the world first??? it would take years to do it,,,if ever,,,charge the battery first with a mains charger

a good battery will hold a charge through the winter if disconected from the vehicle adn left fully charged.
you may want to look into a battery monitoring charger, it is a trickle charger that is designed for long term use, it monitors battery volts and turns on when needed.

also put carpet squares or cardboard under the tires if you are parking on concreet. this will help prevent dry rot and flat spots

you need to remove you battery and give it a good charge out of the car and take it in to have checked
these are a gell battery and we have seen many problems with them shorting out.
also look around in you battery compartmanrt and make sure it wasnt leaking.
let me know what you find

the battery is shorted it will not take the charge be carefull for a shorted battery normally they stink dont make a spark cyhange it hope it help fixya our post thanks pierre
