I have a question regarding a battery, its totally dead unless i jump start.<br /><br />I have a problem with keeping the battery charged after i turn the car off. <br /><br />The problem was that i left a 1200 dc invertor on over night that was powering a 50" plasma.<br /><br />I was told to leave engine on while running plasma and someone else left it on overnight.<br /><br />Its on a H2. Does anyone know how I can recharge the battery to stay charged completly ?<br /><br />Is there a place I can pay to have battery recharged, I dont want to replace battery. <br /><br />thanks <br /> </font> </td></tr> <tr bgcolor="#f7f7f7"> <td valign="top" width="18%"> <font size="2" face="Verdana, Arial"> <b>92stangLX</b> <br /><small>Member # 3252</small> </font></td> <td width="82%"> <font size="1" face="Verdana, Arial"> <img src="https://californiafords.com/ubb/posticon.gif" border="0" alt=" - " /> posted <script language="JavaScript1.3" type="text/javascript"> document.writeln(timestamp(new Date(2005,6,26,10,30,0), dfrm, tfrm, 0, 0, 0, 0)); </script><hr /> </font> <font size="2" face="Verdana, Arial"> Sounds like you may have killed your battery.
