Yes, you can even charge it on the vehicle. Make sure you charge it slowly and either use an automatic shutoff charger or pay close attention the the charge. Do not overcharge. It is best to charge it slowly with a 10 amp or lower charger. Make sure the battery cables are clean and tight.

Use a battery charger.


New car battery not used for months will not accept charge from charger?

Some car battery charges will not charge a completely dead battery. You need to find a type of battery charger that is designed to charge a completely dead battery. You can get around this by hooking a car with a working battery up to the dead battery with jumper cables. The alternator/charging system of the car with the good battery will charge the dead battery. Leave them connected for about 30 min, then disconnect and try to use the battery charger again. If it still won't charge, hook it up to the car with the good battery for a longer period of time.
