Thread: Flat battery ... Again

Thanks mate for the clarification. I didn't charge the battery before test - I removed it and took it with in my car. I have a ctek charger in the van so I might connect it up. I have been using a cheapie trickle charger (nom 2.5amps)

Even reasonably long trips of say two hours does not seem to bring the battery up to full charge if i haven't had the charger on recently.



i have the cteck charger short leads permanently wired into the main battery,so all i do is pop the bonnet and plug it into the short leads.

That's what I was thinking of but was unsure of the charging while terminals connected but I'm confident now after drivesafe chimed in thanks
