well for starters if you set the battery directly on the ground that will immediatly kill/drain the battery of all its juice. if you charged it and put it back in and still nothing your battery could be dead. if you turn the key and you hear kind of like a winding sound like something is spinning then hold the key down for a good 10 seconds, turn it all the way back to the off position and try it again if nothing happens then it could be your spark plugs. you can pull those and clean'em up a bit. re-gap them with a feeler gauge if need be spray a little dw-40 on them put them back in, make sure all the wires are put back on properly and try it again.

Should a car battery be charged on wood?
It does not matter what the battery is sitting on. Concrete, wood, brick, dirt, etc. Makes no difference at all. It is not true that sitting a battery on concrete will drain it. Where does the battery sit in your car? It sits on a steel surface that is grounded. So charge it anywhere you want. Just remember that battery chargers have been know to catch on fire, so place the charger in a location where if that happens no damage will be done.
Do you have to jump start a new battery or do they come already charged?
Most new batteries should come charged, unless the new battery is actually one that has been sitting on the shelf for a quite a while. If you're having problems starting, you might have a problem with the starter itself. Good Luck!!!

Can destruction of property be battery?
The definition of assault and battery differ from jurisdiction to jurisdiction. If the property is intimately related to the individual. If I'm sitting in a car and you attack the car, it can be termed a battery. If you destroy my clothing, it could be considered a battery. Attacking my house when I am not home is not a battery, but it could be considered an assault and even a battery if I am home and see you attacking. In Wisconsin it doesn't matter whether you are in something or not. Battery can only be charged if the assault is happening against a person, not a inanimate object. You can smash someones car to smitherines and they can be in it, but if they are not injured in any way, the perpetrator will not be charged with battery, but with criminal destruction of property, disorderly conduct, etc.
How do you start an old car that has been sitting?
How long its been sitting and if it has been stored inside or outside makes a big difference. Sitting a couple years or less, a fully charged battery and fresh gas added should do it. Longer than that may require draining all the old gas first. Inspect for rodent damage. After it has ran and warmed up do an oil & filter change. Check fluid levels. Air up the tires and check for dry rot. Test brakes. Check lights.
