OK guys here is one from way out of left field....Any ideas?



Description: I work on a Discovery Channel program and have a battery question I'm hoping you can help with ASAP. If a car battery has been sitting, abandoned, for up to 15 years, will it have any--even tiny amount--of charge left in it? I'm not talking about working in a car, but just some tiny bit of life, or will it have all died? We'd like to hook up some wires to it and create static over radio waves but don't know if it would work with an old battery. Furthermore, if stuck camping with a dead battery - what's a good way to charge a battery without the standard tools? Thanks for your help! Ali
