Charge it where it belongs—in the battery. By the way, when did you last swap the batteries?

Assuming the automobile is a 2015 model year, the batteries must be factory installed. But don't you think it's a bit of a stretch to blame the issue on the fact that you've started using the cigar-connected C-tek?

It's past time to get new batteries. Seriously

Numerous vintage vehicles have served me well. My Rolls-Royce has been running on the same battery for the last decade.

Typically, I sell automobiles that are 10 years old or older, and I can't even remember the last time I got a new battery.

Therefore, I have installed a newer C-Tek and clamped it directly to the battery connections.

Let's wait and see if things get better.

If the battery is older than ten years. You should get a new one. The numerous computers in this vehicle that are not ancient will need to have fresh batteries installed.

A automobile has both a starting battery and a "cabin" battery since it has several active modules that must always be "ready" for a command. It would be unfair to compare the battery life of two different models since the newer one has more modules and thus uses more power. Batteries can last a long time with proper care, but is it worth the risk to use them in a strange area? or an inoperable security alarm?
