My simple question is there a special procedure when reconnecting the battery?
my owners manual just says don't have key in the ignition.
If your interested in why i have pulled the battery out then read the rest below.
------------------------'
basically my c-tek mxs 5.0 charger has been behaving odd over the last 6 weeks.
I have the special battery connection leads which shoe the red Amber green led,
For example sometimes I have had red lights on the ctek charger, sometimes, the ctek charger shows as fully charged, but the battery led cable indicator is flashing red...this Is the scenario I came Into today. I put a multi meter on the battery and sure enough it Is only showing 12.4v.
So I have taken the battery out and sure enough there is some corrosion on the battery terminal positive post. I will clean all terminals, And use the recondition feature of the ctek charger, I'm sure one of the two will solve the problem.
Before i reconnect the battery is there a special procedure like leave ignition on for 30 seconds or something like that?
