Took the car for an hours run on Tuesday but still getting low battery. Any advice would be greatly received.
Not sure where you see the confusion. Under the bonnet connection terminals/jump start terminals… the same thing.

Yes, put the charger to the under bonnet connections and get a higher SoC (State of Charge) into the battery.

BTW, my car hasn't been used for over two weeks. CTEK (connected to the under bonnet terminals) took 5 - 6 hours to achieve the 'float' stage.
