SR3 Battery Charging
Discussion
I am preparing my SR3 for its first track day of the year and want to ensure the battery is fully charged after the winter.
My previous SR3 had a 12 volt system with an Anderson plug so that was easy.
The new (to me) car has 24 volt starting and no Anderson plug to connect to.
I can attach the charger to the battery at the back of the engine compartment but will this charge both batteries and if not where is the second one and how do I get to it.
Thanks David

If it's an RS, I recollect that the second (starter assist) battery is in the left hand sidepod and that there's an inspection panel in the rad duct (near the protective gauze) that can be removed to get access?
I also recollect that the second battery has its own small 'switchover' charger but that this is only powered up once 24v starting has been effected and the car is running back on 12v. So to be fully charged before the car is run, as I read it you need to charge both batteries separately @ 12v each.
