FF battery tender

Hopefully someone will put one up soon. The dealer couldn't locate the oem one when I went to pick up mine, so they went to their parts dept and gave me a brand new Ferrari branded ctek charger kit that has all the different clamps and connectors (part #70002821).

 

Is this the one you are looking for?

I use something like this

and then any ctek you want

 

It's been a while so can't recall. But does the FF use the new style magnetic connector? I thought it uses the older style found on the 458 CalivF12 etc.

my 2012 FF has the old style

 

My 2016 has the magnetic connector beside rear license plate as well

I keep one of those adapters in my car lol

I had to recharge my battery last weekend as I didnt drive for a little more than a month

 

Thanks for such a smooth transaction. Best of luck with your new ride. It's beautiful. Joe

 

Does anyone have any experience using a battery tender with some sort of portable power supply?

I have a 2012 FF and if I leave it for just 2 days its slow to start and gives me electrical errors when it finally starts up. New Interstate battery installed just 3 months ago. Im sure recent cold weather doesn't help.

When I do drive (almost everyday) its for at least 15 minutes and often for 45 mins up a long stretch of highway for my commute.

I want to start using a battery tender, but problem is I don't have any outlets near where I park. Just wondering if I could plug in a battery tender to a portable power supply and leave it all in the trunk while its parked for a few days.

 

you cld just disconnect the battery. its under the panel in the passenger side engine bay. the disconnect is on the terminal, in plain sight.

 

thanks…. I’ll try this.
