XC70: Electrical - Support battery

Frank B · Oct 17th, 2020, 15:12

I had to leave my 2016 XC70 D5 (statrt stop model) un used for a month. I charged the battery with a float charger and the car started fine. I have to leave the car un used for a few more weeks, should I use the charger to charge the support battery ? I can access the car daily but can't drive it due to a medical problem.

A quick bit of googling found some previous responses in this forum. The support battery is charged at the same time as the main battery.

The support battery doesn’t need anything done to it and will charge with the main battery. It usually never needs replacing either unlike the main battery.
