Long story short (ish). The C4S been stored over winter at the MIL's (large warm dry garage). MIL is in a local home due to dementia so we go up to the house every few weeks to check on things.
Arrived yesterday to find that someone had unplugged the CTEK charger, battery total flat. Not a huge problem as the car was unlocked and alarm not set. However when reconnected the CTEK it would not charge the battery... power LED on charger flashing which indicates no battery connected. Checked connections, all OK but still doesn't see the battery.
I'm assuming that battery is goosed and will buy another. I just wanted to check to see if there's anything I need to be aware of when reconnecting the new battery to avoid causing issues with ECU units or other issues?
TIA
