charging the battery

Post by edcase » Sun Nov 19, 2006 12:52 pm

Does it have positive and negative points in the engine bay like the M5 or do I have to unload the boot?

thanks

and can I just connect the charger right to the terminals while its still connected to the car, or should I disconnect the battery first?

What was the outcome?? I know of a few cars like a Range Rover that have anti-tamper devices that blow if you try to Jump start or charge, wouldnt want to stuff the RS6 electrics!

I've put the charger on my RS6 several times, with no problems, and jump started it on a couple of occasions.

yeah it was no problem, connected to the battery terminals in-situ, left overnight and hey presto, full charge the next day.
