The main thing that will shorten a automobile battery life is to run it completely down. Auto batteries are not designed to be run flat as deep cycle batteries are. Every time it is run down it's life is shortened.

How do you charge a low car battery in an emergency?

It depends. If the battery is low but not totally flat, connecting another car's batttery for a few minutes and then strarting ("jump starting") is better than jump starting from zero, because the low battery car alternator will tend to put a large current and this will overheat it and could shorten its life; therefore it is only recommended in an emergency. A completely discharged car battery will begin to undergo sulphation soon, so it should be taken to a battry shop or recharged immediately with an advanced regulated charger (some of the newer ones even have some advanced charging algorithms that can revert some degree of sulphation). Now, if it is truly an emergency, you can put the battery under heavy recharge current after a couple of minutes of lesser current, but this will shorten its life.

Can you use 12v charger to charge 14v battery?

You have to know the current rating of the battery (Will tell you how many amps or miliamps can be supported by unit time) and you will have to know the voltage operating range of the devices being powered. Usually there is some slop in the voltages so you could get away with it, but you could also shorten the life of the devices involved or burn them out.
