My car doesn't drive much and I'm planning to leave it unused for a month and a half.(Holiday)
I'd like to know where exactly I connect the cables of a charging device (Bosch C7 charging device. connected to electricity from one side) to the connection points in the car? for a full charge before the period of non-use.
I have a (Mercedes w214 2025 gasoline model)
Thanks.

Your owners manual should show where to connect a charger and cables for jump starting. Normally the positive terminal is under a red cover that you slide to access. The negative connection is a close-by brass color stud mounted to the chassis.

Make sure your tender is compatible with the type of battery you have.

A battery maintainer needn't break the bank. I use a $30 1A Noco that does the job just fine.

The positive terminal for jump starting is under this plastic cover, quite obvious anyway how to access it. Cannot remember but I think the traditional sliding cover is under this plastic panel (I have removed the top panel permanently from my 223, needs charging so often).
