We went away for a week, and a front door was left ajar, so battery is flat. I have an unused charger bought from an auto electrical firm (Power Train 7 stage PTC12V12A7SL) but it needs to know what type of battery before starting to charge using a selector button, choices seem to be Gel, lead acid or calcium. I don't know what type of battery it is, doesn't say on the top like in my other car. I discovered this after the retailer (Batterytown in Morrinsville) was closed. It says NS40ZLPP and Batterytown on the top, can't read the side without lifting out. Can anyone help please? Car is a Corolla 1.8 variant.

Quick websearch points to a calcium battery. If it’s not probably won’t hurt too much. You can always charge as a lead acid then if it’s wrong will probably undercharge a bit but your car should charge it up ok.

Google - looks like calcium
Beat me to it by a few seconds.

If it is calcium you need a calcium charger to get it to full charge. Your charging system in the car will never charge it above 80%. CTek is a good brand. Recommend.
