Default Which is failing - my car's battery or the charging system?

Can anyone tell me how
long I can leave it thus charging? Is 15 hours too much?


What's the charger's output in amps, and what's the capacity of the
battery in Amp Hours?



4 amp charger and 95Ah battery.

Have you by chance fitted an old style lead acid battery into a car
which is intended to take a silver calcium battery? I would imagine
that would over charge it and lose the electrolyte, although probably
much faster than you are experiencing.


Gosh - I don't know; the battery was chosen by a battery dealer who looked
up a battery that was supposed to suit my vehicle, but they may have got it
wrong.
