Ask the S.A. what "charge properly" means. I think he is stretching your chain.

The car monitors the battery drain and charge state, and if you charge the car with a direct hookup to the battery, it does not see the battery charging. It will only pick it up if charged through the engine compartment terminal. You can end up getting a fault if there is enough of a change in the battery charge.
