I haven't used my van for a while & although it's showing charged was wondering if it's possible to charge up the break safe battery by the two external terminals shown in the pic by using a smart charger instead of waiting until I hook up the van in two months time. Hasn't been used for 12 months.

I called them to ask for a better deal and was told no chance! Maybe they don't want my business. Any he...
