I’m guessing this one has been done to death but hopefully somebody can assist.
I use my Cali at least once a week, usually at the weekend but then I do reasonably long ish trips.
I.e. minimum 12 miles each way and often more.
so, after a week on the drive, today it wouldn’t turn over, I got a clock but that was all. It wouldn’t open with using the button and after a few attempts it opened using the key.
I’ve plugged in the c tek trickle charger but I’m thinking this might not be enough.
It’s been in around 3 hours and the green light is there but the lights above aren’t glowing so I’m wondering if anything is happening.
Battery was replaced in august 2021 with new Ferrari battery. This was only around 3k miles ago.
So any ideas on what to do.
I’m tempted to pop to Halfords and get a charger that I can plug in and connect to the terminals on the battery.
I’m trying to avoid removing the battery as it means taking stuff apart.
Should I wait longer and see what happens with the trickle charger or would I be doing anything wrong if I charge the battery whilst still on the car in the old fashioned way with a conventional charger?
Thanks I’m advance.
