Best Answer

A car battery should not be "cycled" as in fully discharged and then recharged.

Such a cycling would quickly destroy this kind of battery.

A car battery is discharged slightly when you start your car, then it is recharged again when you drive your car.

Proper charging whilst running car engine is good for the battery.

A normal car-battery (Lead-acid) can last for many years if not "cycled".

Never discharge battery more than 50%.

How often you actually need to recharge your battery depends on how it is used.

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.
