How to charge the 12V battery

Due to an accident, I am not able to drive until who knows when. The car has been sitting for a month now, the traction battery is still at 100%, but the 12V battery according to AAI Drive is now at 69%. Does anyone have any idea of how to charge the 12V battery apart from driving the car. Should I just start the car up and sit inside for a few hours?

Any suggestion is welcome.

Thanks.

Plugging a car to L1 or L2 charger even HV battery is at 100% charge going to trigger DCto DC charger charging your 12 volt battery if you want to use an external charger 120 v .have to be good quality charger like NOCO 2 genius for AGM battery setting not a just charger for any battery plug positive to red terminal visible in SE and negative to any clean metal / bolt around not to direct 12 v battery terminal this bay pass bbs not trigger any electronics i thing with 69% battery you still be able wake up SE electronics as voltage is 12 .3- 12.4 volts to make a charge of 12 v battery from HV but not press a BRAKE doing this to me the easiest way plug a car to charger L1L2 to charge 12 V battery as those 12 v batteries after 4-5 years need replacement in EVs depends of use or garage control temperature or climate where car is used
