Hi
I'm sure this has been asked plenty of times, but I can't find it
where is the best place to connect a trickle charger for a few days - are there 2 batteries ?
Mine is a 2016 model V6s - uk version
cheers

 

From what little I know - and yes, it is VERY little, there are two batteries. I also understand they are a PITA to get to It may be easier to take it out for a joy ride each week

 

For MY16 and later, the 2nd battery was eliminated.

 

The 2016 has one battery in the trunk/boot. Most of us have wired the battery maintainer receptacle to the battery bus and ground, next to the battery and fed the cord up into the accessible portion of the boot.
A few have used the charging connections under the hood/bonnet, but I would expect a lot of voltage drop with a little maintainer.

I've connected to the positive terminal ...... but have completely failed to get at the negative.
Has anyone got a photo of where they are connecting
cheers

 

If its only for a few days, or as in my case last year, I left a battery maintainer on all winter and never took it off over the winter, just use the boost terminals under the hood.. refer to the owners manual for location.. easy.
Master mechanic at my Jaguar dealer showed me this, for ease of use.

I got the trickle charger (part number C2P25122) and the harness (C2P2121) that brings out the cigarette lighter type connector in the trunk. I've attached the installation instructions for the harness to give you an idea of where to connect + and -.

 

The installation in the instructions looks more complicated than need be. My service guy said to just clip the battery manager leads onto the connections under the hood. I did that when I put the car into storage for the summer and it worked like a charm. Started instantly. I also pump up the tires and put stabilizer in the tank. The drill has worked for 10 years. One point. I think a battery manager with software is much preferable to a "trickle charger" of old.

 

There is a thread in the forum from unhinged (I think) with photos.

 

P.s. To moderators: This should be a sticky note.

 

No, that was a Foosh post. I wonder how he’s doing.
