[QUOTE="Popeye, post: 72010, member: 148"] If the battery was submerged for an extended period of time, you might not have acid left in it. It might be all lake water. Take the battery in to an auto parts store or a Batteries Plus store and have them check the specific gravity of the acid and do a load test. Odds are that battery is garbage now. As far as a 6 amp charger goes, it will charge a battery. It will take longer than a 12 amp charger would, but it will still charge a battery (provided it is a good battery to begin with). Not sure what you mean by running the battery from the charger. If you mean how to connect it, yes, red to red, black to black. Do not try to run the trolling motor from the charger though. You'll probably burn up both the motor and the charger. [/QUOTE]
