Same applies to all cars. A battery charger will be the best way, it slow charges the battery over along period of time, say 24 hours. Batteries only last about 4-5 years, so always check manufactures label on battery and charger, and charge in temperatures over 40 degrees F.. Charging should be done with cables off so not to damage computer. Charging a dead battery is passing current from positive to negative, instead of the reverse when it's slowly discharging. This changes the electrolyte level to its original state of charge. Again, the slow charging method as described above is the best. And don't forget to check electrolyte level on non maintenance free batteries.

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.

New batteries almost always come fully charged. If it was not then charge it with a battery charger and do not use your vehicle alternator to charge a dead battery. You may do harm to the alternator which is not built to charge a dead battery but is instead built to keep a good battery fully charged.
