2015 458 Italia dead battery??

[southtexas]

Question for Ferrari owners—the new 458 is showing a dead battery. We put it on the charger for 24 hours, lights come on, etc etc but system just clicks when you turn the key. The charger lights up but doesn’t seem to charge?

Anybody faced this?

"In the manual it states that the car will not start with the trickler connected.

(or your battery is really dead!)"

Its because you dont drive it enough. You need a new battery with 760 cold cranking amps.
Or the battery conditioner has gone bad. https://www.ebay.com/itm/BRAND-NEW-F...4AAOSwPWRZWW6B

He had unplugged the trickle charger from the wall but not from the dashboard. When we unplugged it from the dashboard, it started right up.

Probably battery. This car should be on a trickle charger when not driving it. Especially if only once a week, or the OEM battery tender also has crapped out on you. If you sign up on the forum Ferrari Chat, there is a tonne of information on all Ferrari's.
