I'm thinking that it should have been pretty well charged by then? So I bought a new battery ($30 at K-mart, where it wouldn't start!) and it's going OK the few days I've had it in, but I've been told a new battery will last a while even if the gen. isn't working. Yes/No? If it's relevant, the car hadn't really been driven for the last 5-8 years, maybe 2 or 3 hundred miles. Would this kill a) the battery or b) the generator? Thanks Sonny '69 Square Auto
