I don't want to scare you , but if you still have a stock battery you should read this before proceeding...

Nothing special. Just make sure your charger does it SLOWLY. Like 2volts, slow charge. The newer chargers available now are controlled by computers. They can detect battery faults and charge your battery evenly.

If your battery is still original, you might think about replacing it.
You are on borrowed time. 4 years is generally the time limit for most batteries. Who knows, your battery may be so dead, it won't take a charge.
