Stupid question. How do I use Schumacher SE-82-6 to charge car battery?

You will use the 12 volt setting to start off, some have a 2 amp, 4 amp and 6 amp setting. you want to charge at a slower rate . The higher the amp setting the quicker it charges. 2 amp is best and could take up to 10-12 hours depending on how dead the battery is. When charged the meter will read zero or the lite will turn green. Good luck

There are two possibilities: 1.) The battery has started to short internally, which means it is time to get a new battery. or 2.) There is a small ground in the positive side of the wiring system, which slowly drains the battery when the alternator is off. The way to test for the latter is to dosconnect the positive cable from the battery, and, using a multimeter set to check resistance, check between the positive cable and the frame of the car. If there is a ground (Usually a worn spot in some wire's insulation) you will know immediately. If that is the case, then you will obviously have to trace down the spot that is grounded, good luck. The interim remedy is to disconnect the battery every time the car is stopped. If there is no ground detected, then it is the battery, go get a new one.
