Hi everyone,
2003 Merc CL600 Biturbo
I left it too long and the battery is really drained - not even the lights come on. Car won't unlock except with the metal key bit.
I have a booster pack putting out 900 cranking amps and a Jag V8 with a good 100ah battery to jump start it with, if I have to.
I also have a CTEK trickle charger connected to the Jag and a 4 amp standard battery charger.
I was going to simply connect the booster, but a friend who has a modern SL said not to as it could fry some of the electrics. A quick internet search kind of confirmed this, but talked about jump start points in the engine bay.
What is the forum's advice, please? The booster is the easy way and the jump start from the Jag the next easiest, but is that going to cause electrical issues?
Many thanks for any advice.
Stuart
