Hey guys maybe you can remove this worry out of my head.

I bought a used battery. I tested it before buying it and all was well... I got home and took it out of the blazer so it wouldn't screw up the carpet inside god for bit it leaked. (knowing my luck)

ANY Ways I unloaded it and put it on top of a rock wall.... because my dad called. Now I forgot to put a piece of wood under it... any ways 2 days later I went to put this battery in my Plow truck.... and it was dead. Charged it and still wont start the truck Unless the charger is connected.

Maybe something wrong with the truck ? The battery tests good still. I was going to try it in the bronco BUT the bronco is all apart Due to the solenoid crapping out. I really need to wake up and think....

Solenoid should be in the mail soon... Hopefully I didn't screw up this battery.

Putting a battery on concrete will not cause it to drain, its only a myth. If thats what you are implying. Best way to charge the battery is by trickle charge for at least 12 hours.

Your starter could be dragging, which needs more current to turn over which is possible from the charger.

I will see. I brought the battery into the house . The cold is not helping it... Im pulling 12.78 volts with the meter and with the battery tester it tells me its weak.... So Its on a slow charge for the rest of the night.

You need to replace your flux capacitor
