Aygo X: Battery charger

[soso]

I will be three weeks out of home, and I want to connect the Battery of the Aygo X to the Optimate 5 I have at home. Have someone used a Battery charger in the Aygo X? Do you know which is the right nut to fit the negative cable, in the blue or the orange ?

Thanks!

I do not think it really matters, as long as the negative cable is firmly attached to the car body, I am sure someone will be along who can give a more definitive answer.

thanks @dannyboy413 . Do you know any way to monitor (by app or by display/dashboard) the level of the Battery?

3 weeks should not be an issue, especially with the larger stop/start Battery.

I have left my 2021 Aygo for 90 days twice in the last 9 months and it has started first time on both occasions.

The My Toyota app should show you the current state of charge of the Battery.

I have a little 'gizmo' that fits across the Battery terminals and sends the Battery voltage to my phone via bluetooth. I can't think of the name off hand, but I got it through Amazon. Somebody will probably know what I am talking about. 

It was, (is), something like this -
