Hi All
Does anyone use a trickle charger over the winter? I've looked in the Owners Manual and its Long on what you can't do and Short on what you can do. If I do attach a trickle charger, do I connect to the battery directly or the jump Cable points as indicated in the Manual for jump starting?
I know this seems simple but I really don't want to fry the electrics.

Hope someone can help

Thanks very much for your reply, Ours is also a 2010 model coupe.
I guessed as much but as my old Dad would say "there's no shame in asking."

Thank again

Thanks for all your replys. I did check it out yesterday and what did I find, a former owner had fitted a fused plug to the post and an earth, behind the left hand panel. I will get a male plug to suit and use my existing Trickle Charger. For now I've connected up in the normal way to the post and an Earth. I'm sure this will be ok as I'd guess the Negi post in the spare wheel area is just to stop people banging Jump Leads together when Jump Starting. (I guess the Health and Safety Police thought we couldn't work that one out for ourselves?)

Hi 8bit
I'll take a better photo and post it in a day or so. I only took this one at the time so that I can get a plug to suit.
