T6.1 battery charging

[hallix100]

Hi,
I have a Carista, checked yesterday and it says my battery is at 35%? Is this bad? If so how do I go about putting some charge back, other than driving?

Thanks for any advice

Plenty of threads on this.

Get a CTEK/NoCo/Victron maintenance charger of around 5A.

Remember to not connect directly to the negative battery terminal and bypass the shunt, connect to another good negative (on a 6.1 you can often connect to the crimp the other side of the shunt)

If the battery is old it may be end of life.

Thought the headlight bracket on the inner wing was the place to use?
