Couple of questions, the car has been used just 2 or 3 runs in the last couple of months as no work, I also trickle charged it about 4 weeks ago.
Went to start it yesterday to collect some essential eggs from a friend and it was dead.
Had to use my bike instead - last used in November and it started first turn - who says Italian electrics are dodgy..
Anyhow, while out, it charged up fine (4A charger), and now the charger says all ok.
Not that it probably makes a difference but there are a couple of options for battery type, AGM or Standard.
The difference is that AGM will charge to 14.8 vs Standard to 14.4 before reverting to the same maintenance charge of up to 13.2
Is my original main battery AGM or not ?
Also, I realise the smaller starter battery is charged while driving but does it also charge while using a battery charger on the main ? - I probably won't be using the car for a while yet..
