regatta Posted August 16, 2012 Share Posted August 16, 2012 A battery left flat for long period with not hold charge, better off buying a new battery this is true, some years ago I bought a car for my daughter off a relation, it had been stood about five weeks, I charged the battery up but it would'nt hold charge.

the_mandarin Posted August 16, 2012 Author Share Posted August 16, 2012 Mandarin - if the car is running and starting fine at the moment it's unlikley you will need a new battery. Thanks Obelix - the car has been starting fine for the last three days and I will pick up a trickle charger soon. More than happy for you to PM me the details you mentioned. I may not have use for it right now, but always like to learn new things. Thanks again Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RootsBooster Posted August 16, 2012 Share Posted August 16, 2012 Have you tried rubbing a balloon against it repeatedly ? (in the same direction, of course!) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
