Dead Battery - Trickle charger ? Topic is solved

ChargelessInSeattle · Post by **ChargelessInSeattle** » 31 Oct 2005, 11:25

I didnt close the trunk lid all the way on my 98 s70 and the trunk light seems to have drained my battery over the weekend.
Needless to say, no start this morning..
I was wondering if I should jump start or buy one of those trickle chargers and charge up the battery.
Any advice appreciated..

TIA..

Jump start is fine if you're going to be driving a good distance (20 miles) or more as it will allow the alternator to re-charge the battery. Otherwise, use a trickle charger.
