If the battery manufacturers want you to take it to a local garage to be boost charged, then I suggest that is what you do, whether you have the necessary equipment or not.

Because it is a warranty situation, they are calling the shots.

I think they are trying to fob you off, why should you have to pay a garage to boost charge it for you? If it won't accept a charge it could well have a dead cell, if its faulty they should replace it under warranty, how old is the battery?

From time to time a battery will benefit from recieving a high charge for a short period of time. Any battery charger that regulates its charge, will put out high then decreases its charge to a trickle as the battery gets fully charged. If you have a car battery charger that does this, this is probably what it needs.

Someone on here posted recently regards a battery being reversed charged, all the info is in that post. Caravan chargers don't charge at that rate, and so never get 100% charged. Hence a boos charge from time to time is good for them.

If you have a Multimeter check the batts out put anything above 12.4 volts is a good battery. Also what about the indicator on the battery? If its black the battery is dead??
