25 minutes is not long enough. Hours are required when totally dead. -- Max Dillon Charleston, SC

I mean, there was zero charge left. I was able to get it jump started, and the battery began charging. I let it idle and then drove it so that the engine ran for a cumulative total of around 25 minutes. When I returned home I shut it off and tried to start it again. It barely turned over. How long would I need to drive to recharge the battery? The weather was not particularly cold.
