Question:

Can I charge a car battery with a jumpstart battery pack?

I have one of those sealed battery/jumpstart boxes that I use to jumpstart a car when the battery dies. This is what I normally do to jumpstart a battery.1) I plug the batterypack into a wall outlet, let it charge overnight.2)The jumpstart box has a red and black clamp that I place on each terminal of the battery.3) The jumpstart box has a dial that once everything is clamped onto the battery, I turn the dial to jumpstart and then start the car.4) After car is started, I turn the dial off, remove the clamps from the battery and Im done.My QUESTION is as follows. I have been working on my car for over a month and the battery has been out of the car. At this stage, Im almost positive that the battery will almost if not completely dead.Is it ok for the car battery to remove it from the car completely, hook up the clamps to it from the jumpstart box, turn the dial over to jumpstart and just let the battery charge?If Yes, how long should i leave them on.ty

Answer:

i dont think so
you need to install the battery, then jump it and take the car out if the battery is still good they charge themselves as you drive.
It might work,,i personally cant see why not. The jump start pack u have is really a rechargeable drycell in a plastic box. the ''switch'' actually connects the jumper wires to the drycell. the charger is really just a small trickle charger,,,of the same type u can buy online for $10. So it should work with no problem.
NO.
