No one wants to encounter a dead car battery. There is never a good time for a car battery to fail, but you may be able to charge it with the proper equipment. Here are some tips from Sill-TerHar Mazda that will help drivers in Broomfield, CO with charging a car battery.
You should understand that there is a difference between a battery that is low and a battery that is dead. If your car battery is only low a few amps, a pair of jumper cables and another vehicle will probably do the trick. If the battery is completely dead, you will likely require a battery charger.
The best types of battery chargers are those which deliver a trickle charge over a few hours. Trying to charge your car's battery too fast can actually damage the battery's cells. You should expect to leave a battery charger connected for at least several hours to get the maximum benefit.
