Hi
Have owned a lovely black 2011 DS4 for four years now, and the curse of lockdown has struck - haven't driven the car since Christmas Eve and have not had trime since to sort out a trickle charger.... and of course, the battery is dead.
Anyway, have now got a trickle charger from Amazon (https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B089SKPRZR/) and am now confused as to how to use it. Have no experience with charging batteries so am a bit nervous....!
Having looked on page 269 of the owners manual, it says to disconnect the postive connection battery first - did so and had a fair few sparks and a whiff of smoke. Guessing/hoping this is normal? Tried reconnecting and there were more sparks and a slight whine... so have left it off for the moment.
Anyway, do I connect the charger to the postive terminal, and then the negative to earth side bolt on the left side of the engine bay? Again, guessing so but want to make sure I do things right and don't blow up anything!
Any help would be greatly apprecited - thank you
