I have attempted a search on the subject but without any success. Is it acceptable to trickle charge the consumer battery in the boot on an R230 SL?
You know when I bought my car, there was a constant discharge of consumer battery within days of driving the car. Merc told me they would replace it, but I am sure I remember them saying they'd replace the battery up front....which I discover today is the battery for the starter, not the consumers. Again, the battery seems to discharge so that I have to open the car with the mechanical key after 3-4 days and I would like to trickle charge the battery but am worried that this may ruin some of the car's electronics.
Any advice appreciated.
