hi my batterie is running kinda of low so i have to jump my car with a friends but i drive it for like 15 min would that be enough time for the alternator to charge it or should i leave it on for a long time and drive it around for a while?

Hi there,

That is not enough time to charge the battery, it should be bench charged over night and then load tested to prove if it is still in good condition.
