I hope this is the correct forum for electrical questions!
When I collected my four yearl old CX5 from the dealer after a safety recall, I mentioned that my Istop system ceased working a few weeks ago. The guy said the battery was probably a bit low, take the car on a long journey to charge it up again. Now I won't be going on any "long" journey in the near future, just short ones. So can I just clip on the leads of my trickle charger and leave it overnight?
I ask because I know the stop/start batteries are not conventional lead-acid ones and need a different charging cycle. Would my trickle charger harm this new sort of battery?
