I don't see AGM stated anywhere on the battery (at least not on the bits that are visible when mounted in the car) Mine is red with tan interior (when I was trying to decide I thought maybe there was too much tan with no darker colours to break it up but in the end I was happy with my decision, goes well with the red). Herbie, thanks for the advice with regards to where to connect. That makes sense. I just wanted to double check before doing something I might regret.

Hi AJ. Thanks for the reply, that was very useful. Mine is the base LC500, it's a 2019 model (delivered May 2019).

Hi, I recently got a CTEK MXS 5 trickle charger to maintain the battery in my LC500 during lockdown. I am a bit confused as to how it should be connected. Firstly there is the question of whether it should be connected directly to the battery or to the connections under the bonnet? Looking at some of the posts above it seems like either is fine. Have I understood this correctly? Also where should the black negative clamp be connected? I read somewhere that in modern cars it should not be connected to the negative terminal of the battery. Is this true? And finally the owners manual says something about disconnecting the ground cable before recharging the battery. Is this really something that's necessary for a trickle charger? As this isn't something I've done before are there any dos and donts I should be aware of? I know not to have the ignition on and that the polarity should be correct but is there anything else important that I should now about? Thanks for any advice.
