Re: dead battery!

Who makes a self charging battery? Where is you buy it? The only way to charge a battery charger.

I was thinking the same thing.

it depends on the charger you use, some will put a quick bit of juice in there to start it but will not last. try at least 6-8 hours on a normal charge to bring it back up. although depending on how long you let it go you might just need a new battery.

Re: dead battery!

the only time my battery needs to be charged is if it's dead, it recharges itself.

once it has a little charge it gets back to normal.

Ha, ha. It doesn't recharge itself. Your car has a built in charging system, with the alternator providing the charging. A battery can regain a little oomph by sitting for awhile, but it will need recharging, and that's what the charging system does.

Re: dead battery!

they sell the self charging batteries at the same place they sell the muffler berings and the blinker fluid. While your there getting one ask them about the Halogen to HID conversion oil.
