I&#8217;ve bought a really good charger from <a href=\"https:\/\/amzn.to\/3b2uN89\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Schumacher SC1280 with 15A<\/a> capacity. The Q7 battery is under the driver seat, therefore, there are two poles (terminals) marked red for positive and &#8220;-&#8221; on the side of the fender for jumper and charging cables. I would put the clamps on first before plugging in the charger and turn it on. Monitor to make sure it doesn&#8217;t go pass 95%. Measure the voltage after charging to make sure it&#8217;s good and holding over 12.4V. The charger has the AGM option, so make sure to select if your battery is original AGM.<\/em><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><div class=\"youtube-player\"
