We keep our van in storage and it hasn't been used since August. We checked on it yesterday and the lights wouldn't work, which we hoped was down to a flat battery rather than something more serious with the wiring for instance. The battery is relatively new, possibly 12 months or a bit more.
I took the battery off and bought a basic trickle charger from a motor factors. It's been on for about 18 hours now and the green light which tells you it's charged still isn't on. The instruction leaflet with the charger doesn't state how long charging should take.
Any advice welcome. I'm happy to leave it on or just buy another battery if necessary.
I have kept the battery topped up during last season by connecting it to the electric at home every few weeks but during the recent bad weather it's just sat in storage.
