    Battery charging.

    OK Battery dead. not completley. I gave it a quick charge earlier (Fast) but the car didnt fire up after about 6 trys the bat was flat.

    So im doing a 12v trickle (slow) charge, How long should this take?

    Ive got an RAC Battery charger thingy. It can do jump starts too but i cant be arsed with that.

    its easy to get some power into it, but you gotta get a really good cranking powre and thats what takes time.. jumping it is always a quicker answer plus while your driving its charging to make life easy jump it of a bigger engined car with a larger battery and higher cranking power..

    or get an 063 from halfrauds, but take someone in that has a trade card..

    If the battery doesn't hold its charge after a charge then its knackered, time for a new one mate
