You stated "ultima".. does it say Optima on it?

Does it have caps that you can remove to check the fluid level?

You need a battery charger that has a 2amp setting on it. Or you need to charge it through a secondary battery.

I'll dig up the instructions so you can attempt to revive it. Red Top or Yellow?
