Arkwright Posted February 16, 2009 Share Posted February 16, 2009 my 350z battery has gone flat due to the vehicle not being used in the inclement weather and all the electrical goodies still functioning. Can i charge it up on the car using a conventional battery charger (which i have) or must i use a digital battery charger (which I don't have). Do I need to disconnect the battery and if so will anything happen on the electrical side ie ecu stopping or radio needs resetting. (I don't have the radio code). thanks in advance.

M13KYF Posted February 16, 2009 Share Posted February 16, 2009 I thought you could use just a regular battery charger and no need to disconnect it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ZMANALEX Posted February 16, 2009 Share Posted February 16, 2009 + 1 ^^ Watch that you don't cook the battery if your charger does not have an automatic cut off. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stew Posted February 16, 2009 Share Posted February 16, 2009 I have just used my trickle charger in the past and it's got it going. No need to enter radio code or anything. Fired up first time on the couple of occasions it's gone flat. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GIXXERUK Posted February 16, 2009 Share Posted February 16, 2009 oops! further info? it will spike or melt some components, have you felt the battery charger cables when you remove them ? they are very hot Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
