Stating the car was not an option, so left it on my drive with an outside plug just around the corner it was nicely setup for the battery charger, once done the car now behaves as normal, i.e. locks with the windows all up, so far no alarm going off randomly too, touch wood! but when I went for a drive, every time I switched the engine off, it comes up with the message "Battery discharged start engine" this is after another message stating that the battery is discharging while ignition off...
So back on the ctek charger for the night, and will raise it with my garage, not sure if the issues I had was down all along to battery, I somehow still believe the battery got to what is now because of the Alarm more likely triggered by faulty windows, after all the interior movement senor is not behind the alarm as I cancelled it with every lock.

I say that because our cars can’t be put into neutral easily if you need to jump start the vehicle…because it needs power to be put into neutral. If you’ve pulled into the garage (forward) then the jump start terminals in the engine bay may not be easily accessible and you shouldn’t jump directly to the battery…so in low battery situations, you may want to back into your garage so in case you need a “jump” to start the car, you can pop the hood to quickly access the jump start terminals in the engine bay. 
In your case, you’re in a better situation since you do have a battery charger/tender. |
