Trickle charge my batteries
Hi All
Just brought my first ML and love it.
However I have noticed the car takes a while to start once it has been sat overnight, has anyone else had this issue, it starts fine once it has been running and is warm.
Is it worth me trickle chaging the batteries?
Any advice would be welcome.
Thanks guys.

Hi there
I've had an ml for 2 weeks now and absolutely love it, but I do have the same issue. A week ago mine went completely flat. The AA came and checked it... The battery was absolutely fine. Their person reckoned is because these cars have so much electronics that there is always a continuous, albeit tiny, drain on the battery. The possible reason for the flat was that one of the many ecu's didn't switch off properly. There must be more to it than that... But it sounds like it would require deep investigation.
If you figure out out please share
