Having fun with a dead battery on the aventador
Discussion
Left the lights on the other night
now the battery is as dead as a dodo as you would expect
Doesn't help it being parked in the garage in a bloody carcoon !!
embarrassed to say i didnt even know these opened up :-)
Got it going........ then nearly ran out of fuel, so turned it off
My issue is the gearbox won't engage as the battery's so low ..... so I can't take it for a drive
Any help ?
Can i keep the battery on charge while the cars running ? or is that a bad idea ?

I was able to restore a properly flat battery with my normal CTEK MXS-5 trickle charger overnight - it's quite often the case (and might be with yours) that draining a battery damages it... but it didn't in my case.
Unless there's some urgent reason to take the car out in this rubbish weather, I'd leave it trickling overnight and hopefully the battery will be restored. I wouldn't charge when the engine is running - for a start, the charger will be seeing an incorrect battery charge condition.

Plug in a CTEK charger in the port in the frunk on Recon and leave for 24 hours

Failing that the OEM AGM battery isn’t stupidly expensive (00915089BB from Eurospares for my LP700-4) and is a DIY’able job with care. There’s quite a few tutorials out there as to how to go about it. I replaced mine last year for just over £300 including VAT and shipping costs. Just do plenty of research before attempting it, if you’re going the DIY route, as a total loss of power can cause issues so if you’re in any doubt let a dealer do it!

Just FYI. From memory, air vents open when one of three conditions are met… now the battery is as dead as a dodo as you would expect Doesn't help it being parked in the garage in a bloody carcoon !!

Over 99mph
Over 35c ambient temperature
Oil temp over 110c
…obviously in the UK we don’t see any of those conditions! ;-)
