hi does anyone know how long it takes to charge the battery on a F430 when it hasnt been used for a week and the car won't start?

I have the charger supplied with the car, and it has been charging for two hours to no avail.

Many thanks

If the battery has gone dead after only one week I think it may well be completely duff and therefore unresponsive to charging? I left mine for a little over two weeks a few times and the car started first turn with no signs of a weakened battery. Also if the battery IS ok but flat will just a trickle charger - which may be what you've got - actually revive it that quickly?
