I had an issue with my car this morning - wouldn’t start, didn’t turn over, nothing. I could get in and the side lights came on but wouldn’t start.
Got the RAC out and he ran a test, it came back with several ECM errors. He suggested charging it as it was 47% charged. It has start stop which he explained is the reason for it not fully charging, it only does it on and off.
I do have a charger but don’t know if it will charge my battery correctly without frying it as I understand some chargers will just stick a load of power in the battery and keep going until turned off which I don’t need/want to do.
Pic of battery label in case that helps:
Charger I have:
MOTOPOWER MP00206A-UK 12V 1.5Amp Automatic Battery Charger/Maintainer-UK Plug
https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B07B9CFV7V/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_glt_i_B5V76HF1K297DFPT11N1
Can anyone confirm please if I’m ok to use this without trashing the battery?
thanks a lot
