Yes, red +, blue / black - Charge it for as long as you can, assuming you've got a small, cheap, trickle charger.

Yes, red lead to battery positive+and black to battery negative and depending on the charger's output and the size of the battery the car should start after a few hours on charge but most chargers, even very basic ones, will gradually cut back the charge rate as the battery state of charge increases so you should be able to leave it on overnight.If in doubt just give it a charge until later today then a half hour or so in the morning should do the trick .

Yup, take it for a good 15 minute thrash out on the open road, will get it charged right back up.

Cheers for that, dont know about a good thrash out, our Roads in the Eastern Suburbs are like Cattle Tracks, getting on to the Motorway then Heading out towards the Airport, would be a Plan, Bit of Speed to clear away the Cobwebs.Not too Speedy tho.100 is good.LOL
