eww bad idea...
Optimas = slow charge only... 2, 4 amps max. If an Optima dies totally
- bring it indoors and trickle charge at least 12 hours to bring it back
up. They just won't do it under any other circumstances. Trying to fast
charge one will more than likely ruin it.
I forget where you live Rick, but if its cold at all... thats not going
to help. The colder a battery is the longer a battery will take to charge.
