Slightly difficult to understand your post, but a "2 hr charge" in a shop is
not the answer. A slower, lower amp charge is much better, imo.

You could have done that through the connector lugs under that you
saw under the hood. (I kept my batt charged that way for 5 months
last winter.)

Hard to diagnose, but if you discovered alot of residue/liquid around
the batt. terminal(s), it may be on its last legs, and require a new
battery.

The hot shot quick charge may get it started and, a long, long drive
may get it back to just "ok". But, a thoroughly diminished battery is
on borrowed time, almost regardless of life saving measures.
