I have had the low battery message since June. Car is lucky to get a 20 mile run a week. Charging the battery (so called intelligent charger!) until it was charged and the charger automatically turned off. Made no difference.
Spotted Clans advice on another post about charging for 48hrs and thought its worth a try.
Over 2 days I had to reset the charger several times when it automatically stopped and now magically the low battery message has gone, stop start now works (knew there would be a down side) and the electric boot (Tailgate?) now works every time.
After 3 weeks without any charging it still all works ok.
Now time for another 48hr charge.
Bob.
PS. Connected charger direct to battery and also tried the power socket in the boot made no difference. So extension cable from garage to inside boot and sat charger on top of boot cover so it could be seen through rear window. car could still be locked and secure while charging.

At last someone agrees 😀 This is not something I came up with it is Volvos own advice for the current virus circumstances .. When you have recovered your battery their advice is to charge it every 2 weeks , or you can keep your so called clever charger on it 👍
