[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][b]I let my car sit for a while and now I have a dead battery.[/b] Once I get the car jump started, how long do I have to drive around for to get the battery charged back up? I have looked online and gotten answers from 30 minutes to 10 hours on the freeway. Anyone have any IRL experience with this?[/quote] 30 minutes is the standard advice. However, depending upon the car brand, year, and model, you may have to get a trickle charger and attach to your car battery each night (or whenever not in use). Many cars constantly drain/use the battery even when parked in one's garage. Accordingly,your choice is to either get a trickle charger or to buy a new replacement battery.[/quote]
