Hi all,
Long story short, my battery became completely discharged and the car had to be jump started. I drove home about 30 minutes and shut the engine off. Tried starting the engine the next day and it started fine however to be sure I want to use a battery charger to charge up the battery.
So...couple of questions:
a) What sort of battery does the i30 use? (it's a GD CRDi) My battery charger has 3 battery type options, these beng 1) GEL, AGM 2) Lead Acid 3) Calcium. As far as I'm aware my car still has its original battery.
b) Any specific instructions as to how to go about this? The owners manual says not to charge the battery with the battery in the car, but if I disconnect both terminals it should be ok? I'm not entirely sure what the deal is with the fuse box around the positive terminal; I read elsewhere on this forum that if its damaged its really expensive to replace so I want to make sure I don't do anything wrong....
Thanks!
