I aways charge any car battery i buy, i was advised to do this many years ago by a motor factor, and as a young kid working in garage the shed they had next to the ramps, they would always charge their batteries remember the big red battery chargers on wheels? the 2 prong testers bottles of distilled water and refill acid, those were the days,
Lucus is a good brand, remember this was 85quid reduced to match the online price,
you don't know how long the battery has been sitting on suppliers' shelf going through those different temperature's just sitting there in storeroom, yes you can put battery straight on car and if no other faults it will charge it if you got 10 min journey home its not really going to get much are a recharge,
remember a standard battery example ie crank could be 340 amps to crank engine over and 60ah thats 60 amps for 1 hour then flat ,
mine is a 027 = 550 amp crank and 62 am per hour,
another example 95ah 800amp crank something like this would be used for vehicles that have auto start stop tec, and need to be programmed to car with scan tool, at least are old cars don't have all this modern tec,
