Possibly not. It depends how 'good' your battery is. Fwiw, I suspect that it's at least partially fubar'd...

Again, imho keep your Supra hooked up to an intelligent/automatic trickle charger.

Yep it is a good battery, as long as you keep it fully charged and don't let it sit in a discharged state...

NB: Please consider posting any help requests in a new thread instead of asking me for help privately. About 99.9+% of the time, private help requests end up covering great information that could be very valuable to other forum members. If you have a good reason for needing the help request to be private, I'll consider it. If not, then why not give everyone else the opportunity to pitch in too, and/or learn from the information? Remember, there's no such thing as a dumb question. We're all here to help within this family of Supra owners.
