Thanks for your advice. I will try that.
12V Battery Trickle Charge
Hi.
I was away for 2 weeks and found that my 12V battery had died. I have a spare AGM trickle charger lying around and I wanted to see if I could bring it back to life... at least revive it so I can drive it to the dealer to get it looked at.
I haven't trickle charged this car before... but do I have unhook the battery before I do this or can I just connect the charger to it?
Thanks.

Just an update... I was able to get the car started and it Came back with "service electrical system" or something like that. I was also unable to get it into drive... I could physically move the shifter to drive, but the dash said "Shift to park" So I basically shifted back to park and waited for 10 minutes thinking that the main battery would charge the 12V. Then I turned the car off and turned it back on... this time, I didn't get any error messages and was able to drive the car.
I went straight to the dealership and replaced the battery.
Thanks for your help.
