Hi, I'm new to the forum so bear with me. I went to start the car yesterday and got a load of warning messages and got nothing when I pressed the start button. Suspect the battery as the car's been left for a week without running. Can I charge the battery whilst it's still in the car and how do I get to it? Thanks!

Hi - I'm relatively new too. I use a CTEK smart charger to keep the battery conditioned on my 2006 DB9. I purchased the 'cigarette adapter' as an option which allows you to charge the battery in situ via the connector in the boot. If you have lost all battery power in a week you may have a dodgy battery and the CTEK is pretty good at diagnosing this as well. Another option is to make sure your battery has not been disconnected. Press the reset switch which you will find under the back seat behind the driver seat(UK) This post might help https://www.pistonheads.com/gassing/topic.asp?t=10... - hope that helps but there are many more on PH who will be able to help you better than I if needed.
Many thanks for this. I'll give both a go
