What does this mean? Battery shows 12.4 volts but I
see a thin layer of ice on the top of the acid? I figured
the charge state would have to be much lower to see
the acid freeze. Sorry do not have a hydrometer.
Battery was in car over night think it got to -10F about
zero now. Battery is out of neighbor ladies car that
would not start. Yesterday afternoon had my 10 amp
charger on it 10 plus hours. But also spent a good 3
hours trying to start it during that time I had my car
hooked to it with jumpers and idling. Took my charger
off of it last night about 9 pm. I had tried to start the
car one last time prior to that with my car jumping it.
Had sat for about 3 hours before that with my charger
on it. Have battery out of car now going to charge it
and take it to the parts store for a check. Do not know
what voltage state was prior to over night period.
