Stoney871 Posted October 8, 2012 Share Posted October 8, 2012 The best way is with a battery trickle charger/conditioner. Something like this one is pretty good- http://www.halfords.com/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/product_storeId_10001_catalogId_10151_productId_815387_langId_-1_categoryId_255205 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dragonuk2000 Posted October 8, 2012 Share Posted October 8, 2012 I unfortunately suffered a flat battery while me and the family were out and about and got informed by the recovery that you cannot jump start a mondeo in the normal way from another running car as it plays hell with the smart charging system so he jumped us from another high power battery and i got home. Due this information I took mine out and charged it fully with a conditioning charger for the next day although taking the battery out wasnt as easy as my Volvo. I second the trickle charger comment and Im guessing this wont blow the smart charge curcuit as its a low voltage. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
