If you're car's not garaged I think you can get a solar panel trickle charger which sits on the dash board and plugs into the cigarette lighter outlet to trcle charge the battery. Try a google search.
Might get you over the problem?

| Quote: Scooter Nik "I'm surprised no one has mentioned checking the alternator too. The battery on my old deisel wouldn't hold a charge, no matter how far I ran it, so I assumed the battery was going - it was in it when I bought the car and I had about four years out of it.
Turned out that the battery was fine as the new battery died within a few weeks... it just wasn't charging from the alternator.
Durr....
Or is it just me that's a fan of bangernomics?'"
Wouldn't the little red light on the dashboard come on if it was the alternator that was duff? |

Games as big as Grand Finals define individuals and clubs. Remember, we only rent these journeys. In my time I had Pat Richard's shirt. Ellery Hanley had Sean O'Loughlin's jersey. Sam Tomkins is wearing Radders' number one jersey. Andy Coley is wearing Shaun Wayne's jersey. You have to make a mark in these shirts before you hand it down to someone else. Hand it back. So be aware for 80 minutes that you are not only playing, but you are also writing history and creating legacy. How many people actually write history - not many? A big stage demands big players…..INSPIRE YOUR TEAM MATES.

Not true, i have 3 12v sockets in the car. The front one and the usb socket are 'live' even with the key out. The rear and the boot one are dead with key out.

| One of the items on the PDI list I have to go through on cars we sell is to check power outlet/cig lighter . There are lots that are live with the ignition off . Wasn't there supposed to have been something sorted about them being permanent live a few years ago ? IIRC it was after the newspapers went overboard about a couple of incidents involving children burning their fingers .
Which reminds me of a time when I was driving up the A1 with my lad . He kept passing sweets to me . I just kept accepting them and shoving them in my gob . Then he passed me the cig lighter .. OUCH  |

TBH I'm sure I've had cars in the past that had permanently live sockets in them, I had a Volvo V70 that had one in the boot because it came with a 12v cooler box plugged into it, a "gift" from the dealer that was probably added to the finance agreement - never used it once but the indicator light would stay on with the ignition switched off unless I unplugged it.
The Peugeot 307 SW (car from hell) that I had also had permanently live sockets in it because we spent 3 hours sitting on the dock of the bay in Roscoff waiting for a ferry one afternoon with the kids running the battery down watching videos in the seat-back thingys.
