Can you tell from the picture the direction this blurb is going? A friend from the States is over currently for a bit and after doing me a favour and picking me up from a friends little soirée last night (btw paramedic students and cards against humanity = good times, very horrible but good times) however he ended up fiddling with the Twilight Sentinel Module that control the auto headlights in my car, for some reason and as a result put my headlights in manual on mode. Cue 20 hrs later and I'm heading to the grocers for some stuff and my car is dead, not even a flicker or a chime dead. I got out the charger for my battery, and its one of the intelligent chargers mind you, and it cannot even recognize thats its connected to a battery. Voltmeter reading across the terminals is not good - 0.16 V when it finally settles. I have a friend coming over later and we are gonna try and revive the battery with a jump and see if we can build enough capacity that my charger can take over but I might be getting a new one pretty quick here if that doesn't pan out. Interesting start to the afternoon I must say.
Update: She lives for now...currently idling away and recharging we'll see how that works but she fired right away from a boost so fingers crossed.

If the battery is dead throw it through his testicles!

Eh, shit happens. I'm not too bothered about it. he's owning up to his mistake and gonna cover the cost if its dead. Testicle bursting battery throw isn't necessary....yet *evil smile*

Does it have both side and top terminals? Try testing and/or charging via the other ones.

Nope top only on a GM car, I have a top post to side post converter for the battery due to some reason I cant remember (swapping battery between cars most likely) I originally had a side post battery though.....
