Didn't use the 'Lise for about 5 or 6 days and with the freezing weather I had a flat battery. Charged it up and I've had no problems since. However, there are going to be times in the future when it's going to be left for longish periods, and I was wondering whether anyone would recommend a trickle charger, and if so, which ones are decent.

Cheers,
Spook

I use and Airflow battery conditioner which I got from Demon Tweeks, althoug I'm told they're in Halfords now, £35 ish.

Put a cigar lighter plug on it and with the addition of a small link soldered onto the top of a fuse the lighter socket is permenant powered and hey presto.

No mods to the car or fitting additional sockets etc.

Thanks bertie.

Do you know of any that can be connected direct to the battery ad infinitum?

Yes, the one I mentioned can as it monitors the battery voltage and turns itself on / off.

Carflow I think it's called. Quite widely available.
