I hooked up the battery to the charger again for about 5 hours yesterday and when I put it in the pickup there was not even enough charge to turn on the radio or honk the horn, so off to battery hill it goes. Thank you for your feed back.

My jumper cables are rough textured on the positive wire and smooth on the ground wire. Well on my battery charger it is just the opasit. Well when I installed the battery in the pickup this morning it was completely flat. I realized that I had hooked up the charger backwards last night. I had it on 12v normal charge and set on 2 amp trickle charge. That was all correct but the leads were backwards. Did I likely fry the battery or do you think I can just take the battery out of the truck and put it back on the charger and hook it up the correct way this time and trickle charge it and if so for how long? A follow up question might be., did I put my charger at risk? robert -----Original Message----- From: [email protected] <mailto:blindhandyman%40yahoogroups.com> [mailto: [email protected] <mailto:blindhandyman%40yahoogroups.com> ]On Behalf Of Don Sent: Thursday, September 27, 2007 11:20 PM To: blind handy man Cc: [EMAIL PROTECTED] <mailto:blindlikeme%40yahoogroups.com> Subject: [BlindHandyMan] This weeks show's.
