The charger is only a 1.75 amp charger. That is really nominal if compared to a 15 to 20 amp charger. I think after 26 hours it should be at least 80% charged, but again you are only charging at 1.75 amps.

The charger has been on 26 hours. The red light on the charger indicates that it is still charging the batery. Is it normal to take so long to charge?

Not sure. My first goal is to get it started again and see if will recharge on it's on. Then I plan to keep the battery tender in use for the future. ( just bought the charger today).

How long would you expect a fully charged battery to last until it gone past the stage of being able to start your car ?

All three bolts are on a common node of the circuit. Attache the charger to any of the terminals.

If you are going to charge the battery, charge it all the way up (~14.0V) should take 5-10 hours at 20 AMP charging rate.

Has anyone out there charged a battery on a 355, by using a charger on the remote access? If so, which of the three terminals do I attach the charger too? ( there are 3 un-marked bolts ).
