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.
