Rear brake pads replacement
I'm about to replace my rear brake pads. I have VCDS to wind back the electronic park brake. My question is: some instructions/guides recommend the use of a battery charger and others do not. I've even found two different Ross-Tech guides where one mentions a battery charger and the other does not. I've found many 'how to' videos on YouTube and not one of them used a battery charger.
However Ross-Tech Wiki says the following: "The EPB module is very sensitive to low voltage conditions! It is critical that a battery charger is properly connected and used for the duration of the rear brake job."
I've never connected a charger to the battery while the battery was still connected to the car as I don't want to run the risk of frying delicate electronics. Who has and who hasn't used a battery charger when changing rear pads?
