Battery Charging / Conditioning procedures

RED-68

Featured Replies

My XE will be laid up for a few months and I am considering attaching a Battery Charger/Conditioner to maintain the battery.

Q. Should I go direct onto the battery in the boot or use the terminals under the bonnet?

I regularly use battery chargers/Conditioners on my motorbikes and I do have the correct charger for the car its just I cant find any info on the XE for correctly  attaching a unit that will monitor the battery's condition and "condition" as required.

Many thanks


Do not go directly to the battery, you will upset the battery monitoring system (BMS). You can however connect to the positive of the battery and a nearby ground point or use the terminals under the bonnet.

Many thanks Jim - I'd read somewhere that charging at the battery or removing the battery may cause BMS problems. Spoke to a nearby independent who suggested using the terminals under the bonnet. All good now and battery maintenance is underway. Alloys and brakes should be refurbished a lot early than previously mentioned. Best regards. John

Glad everything is ok John.👍
