Hi guys I bought a battery charger with trickle charger to keep my battery topped up but it works on a pug 405 I have but not my sapphire Cosworth which is the car I bought it for any ideas

Cheers

Are you connecting it via the cigarette lighter?

 

No 230v

 

What he means is does it connect direct to battery or not?

A battery is a battery so it should work really, is it defiently connected ok?

Oh right doh

Yeah straight to battery. I tried a few different ways on the terminals. Strange as it works fine on the other car.

 

I have a CTEK one. Thought it was knackered till I checked battery voltage on the Saph. Voltage was only 1.5v so battery was shagged. Used charger on my Fiesta battery, no problems. May be worth seeing what voltage the Saph has to see if that is the problem. I am now looking for a new battery

 

I'll give it a try cheers

 

The CTEK reconditioning mode salvaged my battery after the painter left it to go flatter than a flat thing. Might be worth atry before you replace the battery?

 

Tried it on recondition, left it on for a couple of days and still nothing, no lights lit up. Thats when I checked voltage and put the charger on the Fiesta battery. Worked a treat on that.

Like I said, Saph battery is knackered so need a new one if anyone knows where to get one.
