Recharging a flat battery using the Ctek mxs 5.0

THANKS...

im new to the jaguar life

what do you mean reset the windows?

Just look in the iguide, it tells you how to do it. Every time you disconnect the battery the one touch windows won’t work properly until they are reset, it’s something like all the way up then all the way down then press and hold down 5 times but check the guide. Easy to do. You might find some other settings are lost but for me that was all that needed doing.

The battery on my MY16 Coupe is completely flat and I have to open the driver’s door using the emergency key. This means I can open the bonnet and get to the charging points but cannot open the boot to get at the battery.
Does anyone know if it is possible (or advisable) to recharge a flat battery from the charging points using a Ctek mxs 5.0. The Ctek manual shows the charger being connected directly to the battery.
My thinking is it would be better to recharge the battery properly rather than try and jump start the car and then leave it running or go for a long drive ( not recommended at the moment).
Any advice would be greatly appreciated.
Regards

I had a similar experience a few months ago, mainly due to lack of use during the winter and pandemic restrictions.

After purchasing some HD jump leads and a CTEK MX5 conditioner, I started the car using the recommended jump start connection points under the bonnet and then connected the CTEK using the recommended connection points in the boot and left it charging/conditioning

After a few days I had a fully charged battery and have had no probs since.

I didn’t take any pictures of it when I did mine but any ground will work. There are several studs attached to the body of the car and they should all work, if you have a multimeter you can check with that.

MIne updates from the internet, but I'd guess it's in the Vehicle Settings section of the menu.

On the main screen touch the gears on the bottom r/h corner of the first screen, that’ll bring up another screen with System at the top, touch that and it’ll go onto another screen with time and date, touch that and it’ll allow you to change either the time or the date.

Hope that helps.
