Ignition off, hook a battery charger to the battery post and let it charge. Black - Red + Disconnect the charger before starting the vehicle. You do not have to remove the cables nor take the battery out of the vehicle. Batteries are constantly being charged on the vehicle with the alternator. That is just unnecessary work for nothing. Since the battery is in the fender, you hook the battery charger to the jump start posts under the hood.

New car battery not used for months will not accept charge from charger?
Some car battery charges will not charge a completely dead battery. You need to find a type of battery charger that is designed to charge a completely dead battery. You can get around this by hooking a car with a working battery up to the dead battery with jumper cables. The alternator/charging system of the car with the good battery will charge the dead battery. Leave them connected for about 30 min, then disconnect and try to use the battery charger again. If it still won't charge, hook it up to the car with the good battery for a longer period of time.

Charging Your Car BatteryNO, it is not necessary or even recommended to disconnect the cables from your car battery before charging.It is however very critical that you follow all o the charger instructions for connecting the charger to your battery, AND the instructions regarding setting the charger controls [if there are controls to allow different voltage and charge rates.The only reason I can think of for disconnecting the battery cables is if you needed to remove the battery from the vehicle [as for example to take into your garage for charging].
