[QUOTE="Nightjar, post: 584253, member: 1414"] Definitely not a new charger, one of the old 6/12 volt types, we hit on this by chance in the early 90's. However yes, once the charger kicks in we disconnect the jump battery after about 5 minutes and leave the dead one charging overnight. The batteries we select from the recycler are only a few years old and either completely dead or only registering a few volts. One battery in particular was a wheat silo type shape. This battery when restored started our camp diesel generator for another 6 years. The generator has an inbuit trickle charger. [/QUOTE]
