Smart charger
Dear All,
I am writing to seek some advice regarding my parked "Defender 2022" car, which has been sitting idle in my garage for over six months. Due to work obligations abroad, I have been unable to attend to its maintenance during this time.

I am wondering if any of you could recommend a smart charger that I can connect to the battery. I believe a smart charger would help maintain the battery's health and keep my car operational until I return.

If any of you have experience with smart chargers or suggestions for a specific brand or model that works well with Defender cars, I would greatly appreciate your input.
Thanks

hoodisland,

I tried to reply to your message but I don't have enough seniority to send messages yet... (these forums are handy...) so I'm replying here, hoping you can see this message...:

Hello, no I haven't done the update yet, I have an EGR valve problem that hasn't been repaired yet (nothing serious). And for now I'm repairing my old defender. As for the update, I'm going to do it at another guy's who is near me in Belgium. He's asking me: €800 for the upgrade from d200 to d300. €1250 to activate all the options. Or €1850 to activate everything and do the power update.
