I've been away for work for a while, and Pam (my 1998 105 Standard spec LC) was a bit sluggish to start when I got home.
So I've connected my Optimate 3+ conditioner/charger which I will leave connected for 24 hours or so (I don't have a fast charger).
I have two 70Ah batteries, in series: Earth - Neg batt 2 / Pos batt 2 - Neg batt 1 / Pos batt 1 - Starter + vehicle power - Earth.
Question for the experts:
If I connect the pos / neg charger to Battery 1, will it charge both batteries? Or do I need to charge Batt 1, then charge batt 2? Or should I connect the charger to Neg Batt 2 and Pos Batt 1?
If it's the former, then I guess if I leave the battery conditioner connected while I'm away next time, it will keep both batteries in good nick.
Hope you're all having a sunny Sunday.
