    Need guidance please. Zivan charger started blinking Green and Yellow with the Red constant. Not sure which came first but my battery ended up completely dying, 5 years old anyway. Replaced battery. Ordered a fuse for the Zivan charger thinking that was the problem but it still blinks Green an Yellow. Just to be clear this is without it being hooked up to the car.

    Any suggestions?

    Thank you

    Buy a CTEK or similar - many options described in previous threads

    On the Maranello you still have the cut-off switch - I think it's better to use it than relying on a battery maintainer.

    Bad advice according to the pros. Resetting everything when not necessary is not the best plan. Plus, the switches do wear out.

    No sir. Batteries still need a maintenance/float charge to stay healthy. They otherwise have a self discharge - in addition to any drawdown within the vehicle. AGMs perform better in this regard than conventional lead-acid - but they all need to be topped off periodically.
