Bump.. Should i put this on my charger at 10 amps or 2 amps? i've heard 10 amps, cuz 2 amps would take forever to charge..

A slow 2 amp charge is what you need to do to it.Although there wasn't any current being pulled the IR of the battery slow discharged it.Most anything that has been on a shelf more then 6-8 months without a charge is going to have a diminished battery life.It may come back,but ike Hoss said don't trust it to get you out of a jam.

Ok. Thanks for the reply.. How long should i leave it on with 2 amps? A full 24 hours? Or more? And then test it after a couple hours off the charger?

What do you mean by boil? the battery tender gettin hot, or the battery getting hot? I didn't think AGM batteres had acid..

Gel and it can still heat up. Or one would think
