Hi all
I'm getting the Stop / Start not available warning, so guessing the battery is on it's way out.
(Original battery from new 2016 Graphite, so not disappointed)
As a short term measure, is it worth giving it a charge ?
C-TEK MXS10 charger, am I ok to connect this charger direct, and if so, for how long ?
Presume Tayna are the way to go for a replacement EK151 ?
Thanks in anticipation.

Yes, you can connect direct to the aux battery (but not to the main one).
If I leave my D4 in the garage for more than two weeks I attach a CTEK to the S/S aux battery as I like that function. Jim

Overnight should do it.
CTEK are smart chargers. I've not had a problem yet with mine...
For the main battery I charge using an adapter for/via the tow electrics socket btw, I think you can buy them in the shop above if they are in stock again? Jim

I've got one of those. , but I know from previous posts on this forum, that that is for the main battery only.
