Bentley 7002 Trickle charger question
I have a 2016 Bentley GTC Speed that I don’t drive regularly. I have this car placed on an OEM Bentley 7002 charger and it has been on charge for at least a week but is only at 3/4 charged (according to the charger). Will this charger ever show my batteries fully charged? I don’t know the year of manufacture of these batteries as this car is a recent purchase. Anyone here use the 7002 and get the charger to show their batteries fully charged?
thanks Gerald |
If the 7002 is the one that came with the car, then yes, it will show full with the green light lit. I have a '16 GT. (Mine is screwed onto the wall so I can't see the number.) Try doing a load test on the batteries to see if they need replacement.

I've had various CTEK chargers for a long time and I've noticed a pattern that they'll get stuck at less than 100% when the battery is on its last legs and on the way out. The Bentley charger is nothing more than a run of the mill CTEK (7A?) with Bentley print and the proprietary plug so it's safe to assume they work the same.
Batteries can be revived to a degree with a constant current charger but that's a risky brute force method and must be done off the car. I'd say it's time to prepare to replace the batteries. |
i have 7a ctek - when battery gets full , the green light stays on the "full" icon.
