I stupidly left the sidelights on last night so flat battery this morning ! I am sure that you know that the battery for this model is not only under the boot floor but also the spare wheel and it's cradle. This cradle requires several bolts to be undone before it can be removed and give access to the battery. The breakdown guy used a battery pack connected to two terminals in the engine bay to start the car, but he said that these terminals cannot be used to charge the battery, just boost start it. Is this correct ?

Or can they be used to put a battery conditioner on them to trickle/ top up the battery ?

It's a pain to remove all of the above kit just to charge a battery .
