Cali charging

[inthemidnighthour]

I have just fitted an external 16A socket to my house so i can plug it directly in to charge liesure batteries.
i was wondering how often and how long to charge these batteries , the vehicle only gets used for daily short trips normally.
any tips would be great
thanks dave

Quote from vw Cali supplement 2011
If the batteries are not charged by the alternator While the engine is running the additional
Battery must be charged by the factory fitted charger at regular intervals a minimum
Of every 4 weeks for at least 12 hours. The additional battery needs to be charged for a minimum
Of 12 hours before the start of a journey if the battery has not been used for prolonged periods
ie seasonal.
Hope this helps.
