    My 430 would not start yesterday after a dormant period so I was not surprised. I hooked the factory Ferrari charger to the car and after an overnight of charging, the green light showing 100% was lit so I figured I was good to go....tried to start it and it sounded just about the same as before charging.....click, click, click and nothing. What am I missing? Thank you in advance...Chris :(

    In my experience your battery is probably gone. They do not survive well if left uncharged. I suggest you keep the battery charger on regularly after you get a new battery. I have had very good results with the Battery Tender Plus. They do not overcharge the battery. I am still on my original battery with a Challenge Stradale. Now going on 7 years.

    Having said that, out of the 10 Battery Tenders I own , 2 have gone bad and had to be replaced by the manufacturer. I also had the charger on the Scuderia go bad and Ferrari replaced with a larger one.

    Batteries can be challenging.

    Yep, sounds like your battery can't hold charge anymore. You can try to use a charger like Ctek (official Ferrari supplier) which has a recondition mode which will recondition the battery.

    See if that works. Good luck....
