Some advice please;

I have purchased an "Intelligent" Battery Charger to help deal with my Karoq standing still during Lockdown.

I'm unclear as to which 'mode' the charger should be used in - the two choices being "In Vehicle" and "AGM/GEL".

I'm leaving the battery attached to the car whilst charging.

Any thoughts ??

(This is the charger if it helps:

If your battery is marked as an AGM type, then I would have expected that to be the right setting. What make and type of battery charger is it? What does its instruction booklet say?

I've checked my battery today out of interest, and see that it is an Exide EFB+ battery. So if yours is the same, use the setting recommended in your battery charger instructions for that type.
