Can anyone offer advice. Tried to start my Chimaera this evening but it appears the battery has lost charge as I had foolishly left her alone in the garage for a 2-3 weeks without any use (blame the weather really)...and forgot to connect the Accumatebanghead.

Fortunately, the roof is off so I can get in but just wanted to know whether if I reconnect the Accumate to a flat battery whether it will charge the battery overnight sufficiently to start in the morning? Also, is there any risk of doing any damage to the battery (about 2 years old) by doing this?

Any advice and info. appreciated.

Thanks for the comments...I plugged the Accumate in late last night but still no sign of life this morning. I won't get chance to have a go with the jump leads until the week-end so will see if the tickle charge helps over the next couple of days. Martin
