I recently left my lights on for about 5 hours on my 94 Saturn and killed the battery. I got a jump and drove up the street to the grocery store, ran in for 20 minutes, and it wouldn't start. I was wondering about how long I would need to leave the car running to make sure that after the next jump, if I park it overnight, it will start the next morning. Battery is about 3 years old.
Also, do I need to actually be driving or can I just have the car running? Will it charge the battery either way?How long to charge my car battery and how?3 year old batt

Turn it on, turn off the lights, the radio, the phone charger -anything that will take any juice.
Leave it running for about 30 minutes, no need for the car to be actually moving.
Make sure the batter still has DISTILLED water in it, too.
