Will trickle charging or jump-starting your car's battery invalidate the warranty?

Featured Replies

This question was posed to all the major manufacturers. You would have thought a straightforward question would elicit a straightforward answer. But somehow Skoda gave a convoluted reply and avoided answering the question, Seat maintains it uses lithium ion batteries which surprised me, VW remained shtum.

Whoever at SEAT answered the question doesn't have a clue - yes EVs and hybrids use Lithium Ion batteries (for the propulsion batteries) but ICE and hybrids use Lead acid batteries (for the non-propulsion batteries).
