We have received the following statement from SEAT:

"We’d generally tell customers not to trickle charge their vehicles, these are certainly unusual times. Our customer helplines remain open, as well as the live chat feature on www.seat.co.uk, so in the first instance we’d advise a customer contact us for guidance on their individual case. A vehicle can be trickle charged but it’s important to note that our vehicles use Lithium-ion batteries so if a customer wishes to utilise a smart charger then it must be compatible for this battery type, and it must not be rated more than 32A with a capacity of 250Ah."
