Hey folks – here’s the deal. I have a new (few months old) exide orbital battery. I let the truck sit for almost a full month, with a constant drain on the battery (right I know, bad to do…). So anyway, the battery was very dead, but a friend of mine used a battery charger and gave it a full charge. The charger was one of those industrial types, so the charge was good.

My question – did I screw the battery? The truck has started strong each time since re-charge, I’m wondering if I shortened the life or if it will now discharge quicker or not hold a charge for as long. Previous to this incident I would leave the truck for 2 weeks with the constant drain on the battery and it started right up without hesitation. I’ll look on the warranty info to see if I can pro-rate the battery or not.

Thoughts?
