car's been idle with lockdown so can anyone recommend a battery trickle charger as i'm getting battery low warnings now.

thanks

The Ctek chargers are always well recommended. I have a MXS 5.0 and it does the job. Kev

I believe you need to do the start stop battery separately as well Joined the X5 45e club

Stop/start gets charged at the same time. +1 for Ctek MXS 5

If you go up to the Ctek MXS 7.0 or 10 you can also use it as a additional power source to the vehicle or a vehicle, if you remove the battery for any reason so not to lose any memory settings etc. not that there are a lot to lose on the Sport.

Reading back through a different thread, seems you might not have the second battery but a capacitor system instead

I’ve used a Noco Genius 5 and it’s a charger and maintainer. Attached it to the front posts under the hood (bonnet). I believe the batteries are AGM. Works great. 2016 SCV8 Dynamic - Firenze Red/Pimento

Hi,
I use a lidl smart charger via the tow socket

Martin has many plug options in "The Shop" for this route

or Tim's thread has been mentioned a number of times regarding a solar trickle charger have a search if you want that route

I use a CTEK (either an MX5 or MX10) and it works great. 2016 Black SDV8 Autobiography

I use an MX7 with the tow socket charging plug mentioned above which works perfectly. Take the the little tab that holds the socket to the cable off and it pops off if you drive off with it attached. I know it works!!  MY16 3.0 SDV6 Autobiography in Aleutian silver, stealth pack and toys.
