Hi all
The old fella's been standing since September on the drive due to me being in a cast and unable to drive or do much else. Been connected to power and I've been switching it on for a few days a month to keep batteries active. Despite this, she hasn't wanted to start and the main battery seems flat! If I connect a separate trickle charger and leave it for a day it seems to hold the charge enough to start, but a few days later nothing.
It's in for a service/MOT etc in a week so I know I need a new battery, what I cannot quite get though is that it puts a charge in from a trickle charger, but not sufficient when left for a few days on the internal charger, (the auxiliary battery is charging ok and not a problem).
I thought it did both, or trickled between the two bats...am I wrong?
Cheers all, Dave
