Finally got the line back on the other day, was so cold.
Anyhoo' instead of starting a new thread I thought I'd just ask here.
So all I need now is gas and a battery charge.
3 months sitting, so how long of a drive do you guys think it'll take before it's good to turn off so I can get it back on again?

Mike, most guys will tell you to charge your battery over night unless you want to replace your alt because it's being over run. At least that is what I was told when my batter was dead.

Was going to do it right now, but the car is sitting in the driveway, and it's dipping down to -10 tonight.
Question is, is there an operating temperature for these types of chargers or am I good to just leave it under the hood of the car and leave it charging overnight or just until midnight then take it off and charge some more tomorrow?
Or just start it up after 6 hours ish at 2amps?

Well Einstein, it's probably frozen Usually you can see frost accumulate on the outside of the battery casing. And if it's swelling, good sign it's frozen too.

She's alive!!! Thanks for all the help guys. That's another thing to add to my knowledge base that I can do now. Got a replacement battery from CT, they upgraded me to an Eliminator for free, because the regular motomaster wasn't in stock. Yay. Popped her in a couple of hours ago, started up after a few put puts, went to pick up some Kotthu Rotti from a place in Scarborough called Gasa. Mmm. Feels good to boost again and drive again. Damn. Bigass smile on my face.
