I have a 2016 GT350R that has not been driven for six months, and I forgot to hook up my battery tender. Now I plug in my 3amp battery tender to a dead battery and makes repeating clicking sounds in the engine area. After about 15 seconds I unplugged the battery tender. What should I do?
Thanks!

What type of tender, Deltran? Deltran Battery Tenders require the battery to have some power before they will operate.
A CTEK will charge and restore (in some cases) a completely dead battery.
While it may be too late, it might be worth the effort.

This, if your battery is 3 years plus replace it.

Yes, it's a Deltran.

If it's original battery, 6+ years old, theres no way to bring it back to life. Get a new one, and always hook up the tender religiously.
