Default Trickle charger. Too late??

So I’ve been on my back for five days with Flu and Brochitis and I had to get a present out of the frunk. It opened with the key. It then occurred to me that I left my radar detector on for the past week. Now the car won’t start. I left the door unlocked just in case. Is it too late to plug it in and trickle charge it for a couple days?

Yeah, try the trickle charger, you should be fine. Even then, a jump pack would bring the battery back and you wouldn't have an issue. Hope you feel better!

Glad it worked out, and I'm happy to hear your car is back up and running. I have a question for the group. I've heard different information on the AGM batteries. Can you use a trickle charger on AGM batteries? Can you use the battery conditioner/recycle setting on the charger on the AGM batteries? Thanks in advance.

AGM batteries need to be charged at a slightly higher voltage. Some charger/conditioners have that setting (snowflake mark). AGM batteries should not be charged in the recondition mode (at least CTek charges so state).

What ADias said is also what I have heard from several sources. My Cali has an AMG battery, so I upgraded to a CTEK (56-353) MULTI US 7002.

This is one that I got. As mentioned above, by it direct, and avoid Porsche tax.
