Trickle charger to boost a dying battery...

Post by Benarchard » Tue Nov 04, 2014 10:17 pm

Do  have to connect this straight to battery or can i use the points in the engine bay?  It was flat today so had top call out GREEN FLAG.  But reckon a charge may sort it as Wife left heater on without engine running for 30 minutes...  And I reckon thats what has zapped it... Any thoughts?

Preferred points are under the bonnet - as per the manual.

And yes 30 mins of fan will have zapped it.  Expect 12 hours to fully recharge it.
