Hi,
So having been sat for a while my car battery is dead. I am an RAC member, but I remember from reading threads a while back that you should be cautious when dealing with dead batteries - jump starts or starting from a jump pack could be damaging.
The car is a W208 facelift CLK230 with steering wheel buttons.
If I call the RAC out, I think that the most likely thing that they will do is use a jump pack - correct? Is that potentially a bad thing, and should the battery be charged instead?
The option of charging is not really availble to me as the car is parked on the road, I don't have a driveway.
Any thoughts appreciated
Thanks
