Charging an installed battery

John Z

if you will
I usually charge batteries when they are uninstalled (typically my riding mower battery over the winter); but is it OK to charge a car battery when it is installed in the car? One of my car's batteries was drained by an interior light that was left on, and I'm thinking of trickle-charging the battery while it is still in the car.

Or you can just jump it and let it charge itself. You will not want to shut the car off for at least a few minutes so take a drive or let it idle.
