My battery which is located underneath the back sit, held strong for 9 years , I believe its because it is away from the heat. But normally an in engine bay battery would last 2 or 4 year.
I assume you mean how long to charge the battery. You should never let the alternator charge a dead battery if possible. The alternator is designed to keep the battery charged but not to charge a dead battery. You put a strain on the alternator and it can cause a diode to burn out. Drive home and then put a battery charger on the battery to fully charge it.
How long should I leave a battery on charge
Half An hour
You should never drive a car around for long after jump starting a dead battery. This puts an enormous strain on the alternator. Alternators are designed to keep a good battery charged, not to charge a dead battery. You can easily burn out a diode in the alternator. Jump start the engine and drive it somewhere and connect a battery charger to the battery and charge it fully.
if you charge it for too long. keep a close eye on it as it is charged.
how old is battery? Perhaps cannot keep a charge Excessive parasytic load? Accessory (glove box light) left on accidentially? charge it a long time
No need to charge it at first. But when you unbox it, keep the battery untill it dies, then charge it to the max. Do that for 5 days and the battery will be just perfect.
you should go to a car shop and get your battery checked and ask how long should u charge your battery.. or if you should get a new battery
Not likely but as alterantor keeps trying to charge a weak battery it may wear out, however as you are not likely to keep a bad battery in the car for so long there should be no damage to alternator if battery is replaced.
Trickle chargers are not used to recharge a dead battery. Trickle chargers are used to keep a battery at a full charge level and can be left connected to the battery permanently.
If the battery was charged when you installed it, you do not have to drive the car at all. If not you should charge the battery and not use the cars alternator to charge it.
Good question. Charge it for a full 24 hours before use so it gains full battery
