Dead Battery....Help!!!

Hi all, Ive been away from my e55 for about 10 days, just tried getting into the car and its totally dead

Does anybody know what type of battery I need or is it worth just jumping the car from my saab?

Also will all the settings have goe from the car? radio etc???

I would remove the battery and recharge it then load test the battery.Seen several cars get damaged from jump starts

After the battery is ok...then test the charging system and for a draw

As the car should be ok if it sits for 10 days my car will start after a couple weeks

Get a battery trickle charger, set it to 2amps and let it charge over night. If its still dead then now would be a great time to upgrade to a much lighter battery (perhaps an Optima, or if you really want to save weight, get Odyssey PC680 w/ battery box).

hope that helps.

Thanks for the advice.

I called the AA out and they got the car going again...could be the cold!!

Im putting it up for sale this week so I didn't fancy getting a new battery for it!

Its running fine now and its gonna break my heart selling it as its the best car Ive driven.... but no job = no 381bhp super car!...Gutted!!

Also know that you have roadside assistance for the life of the vehicle and they dispatch out MB techs instead of tow truck drivers.
