The real tool tarts use theseWe sound like saddo tool tarts.
Now I haven't charged a car battery since my teen days but it seems our two year old car like many now are dependant on a good charge for all the functions to operate, the stop/start rarely works and the dealer who we know told me what I already knew it does not go far enough each day. They have charged it up free a couple of times but I now have a so called smart charger so the question is can I charge it without disconnecting the battery as I am seeing different views on this. The instructions are good as useless and the handbook for the car makes no mention.

Lots of prerequisites for start /stop to function, not just battery condition things such as engine temperature and Air con along with a string of other things usually depending on the make / model.Well since it hit full charge last week my girlfriend who predominantly drives it said the stop/start has operated once this week.
I suppose the only way forward is battery test and current consumption after every module that's going to goes to sleep.It is a Fiesta ST3 and owned since new in 2020. Fine through the first summer, one winter and never been the same since but admittedly it only does a short trip each day. Apparently this is none too uncommon for this model but being serviced in a month or so and will throw the problem at them. All the other parts which shut down like touch door opening now fully function but they only need limited power.
