You need a good battery charger to keep it in good shape for the next 7 months :wink:

The one I got a few weeks ago is ace and it automatically switches to trickle/maintenance mode when the battery is fully charged.

I got sick of my battery going flat every 5 minutes since the weather got pants, charger was the best thing I ever bought.
Failing that, take ur battery off and keep it somewhere warm...

It has crossed my mind, but its either the alarm or stereo thats putting a massive drain on things, gonna try n figure it out when the weather gets a bit nicer. I dont use th car much anyway
