Dead Battery

[Nut]

Hope someone can help! My T350 battery's dead through lack of use (slap wrist!), just need to know how to get in with doors not working, as the Anderson connector is totally corroded.

Thanks for any help!

You will need to take off the front legs off the uranium coverter flexi-hose and then remove the plastic semi conductor, near the west wing. This will then reveal the battery.

I would also get a new connector and a conditioner, as these cars need them if not used on a very regular basis.

Is that the "secret way in"?

Wouldnt it be a good idea to delete that?

Not at all! You cannot enter the car itself by removing the wheel arch, it simply gives you access to the battery, and nothing more.

I genuinelly didn't know that!, I just the battery, and nothing more the first (and last) time my battery was flat! I shall edit my first reply, in light of the new evidence presented before me....

And cheers , I will be back, plan to get another just before we move to Italy, would be a crime not to!

Incidentally how long had you left it for?

I ask as i drove mine Saturday before last then returned to it this Saturday just gone to find the battery was flat. I've not had the car long but its been fine for a week before and I don't have the ability to get a battery conditioner as its not garaged. Jump started it, drove for about an hour, parked for about 2 hours, started fine, drove about 20 mins, left it over night, next day flat again. Spoke to The Garage and he's confident it just needs a new battery. Said it would be fine to be left for a week or so but commented that the best thing for these cars is to be driven - rude not to oblige!
