I have signed a contract for a 2021 Toyota RAV4 hybrid – delivery June 2021.
The RAV4 Hybrid has the auxiliary battery located in the boot area (rear compartment of the vehicle) and has (I believe) a CCA of 420.
The dealership advised me that Toyota Australia does not recommend the use of battery charges on the auxiliary battery.
I own a Cteck MXS 5.0 AUS smart charger.
Will it be safe to use the Cteck smart charger when the vehicle the turned off as with any conventional ICE motor vehicle.
Toyota hybrids have a reputation of the auxiliary battery going flat when not driven for as little as two weeks. Any advice would be greatly appreciated.
Kind regards

You can if it's a 12 volt battery but Dad said I would disconnect one of the terminals so it was no longer in connecting itself to the car's wiring system when you charge it
