The Ford Barn - View Single Post - Optima battery that will not hold a charge

Sometimes Optimas do not accept a full charge when run down to 0 volts.

Might try putting a 6 volt charged battery in parallel and charge together sometimes this allows a complete charge on the Optima.

Might try this several times before giving up on it!
