Thank you for the tips. I was given a "bad" yellow top by a friend because he could not get it to recharge. I tried to charge it myself also but it would not, so to clear out the garage I gave it to my local parts store a few months ago. After seeing this video, I went down there tonight and they still had the battery in the back. So I grabbed it up and headed straight home to try to recharge it per the parallel battery charging method. It's working! Thanks for this helpful video; take care.

~Xlnt info. on resuscitating AMG-type batteries such as Optima & Odyssey. Was using a nifty microprocessor-controlled 12v/Vector-'Smart-charger to maintain and desulfate old bat's. (-w/handy dead bat. 75amp-Starting feature!), --yet after about 6mos. it expired (-digital screen 'blank', no internal-fuse, --instant costly junk!!). Black&Decker bought-out Vector-charger wouldn't honor replacing it, so have just ordered a new like #VEC1095ABD, -trusting B&D will back their product better now..!?!

~Have three Optima Car-batteries, and the spool-wound construction is Xlnt., -yet seems they're not performing as well since made in Mexico (-likely a quality-control issue). Accordingly, i purchased a Vector 'Smart' Bat.-charger, was able to bring a dead Optima/AMG-battery back into service! But after 6-mos the Vector-charger suddenly quit, and Black&Decker (the new Mfg.) would'nt replace it; -thus i've just ordered a new B&D-'Smart'-charger, trusting they now back their product properly.!!

Tried the OptiMate 6 I bought that is also good for AGM batteries, it's fully automatic, I'm no tech guy, so I like that there no buttons I have to select and I don't have to figure out what kind of charge the battery needs. The OptiMate figured out by itself the battery was low in volts and brought it back to life.

Thank You, Thank You, Thank You! I have had a heck of time keeping my batteries charged in my truck, I simply do not drive it enough. Your tip fixed my problem with the dead battery issue. I also like that you solidified the CTEK question that I had about buying a battery maintainer. Also, nice garage!
