Yeah I should stick it on a trickle charger, I've got one for the bike, which reminds me I need to put that on charge too.

If the key works in the drivers door, do one of two things when not using it, but don't say which... disconnect the negative terminal, then lock the car manually. Or lock the car bonnet open, pull fuses 5 and 6 from the box above the battery, close bonnet.

Good idea, but MrsT uses the car on days I don't expect her to, so needs to be ready to rock.

Hence new battery, but never have any spare time at the moment. Just need to make time

Take a 10mm spanner, and a 13mm socket on an extension and ratchet with you when you buy the battery. Fit it and get them to dispose of the old one. That might take 5minutes longer than just collecting the battery.


Your limited usage of the car might warrant spending a little more for a higher quality battery

It'll be fine.

I see ECP doing good price on 70Ah battery, just £37 which is not bad.

If I buy one ....

That's a steal for that Price    I paid double that (but was a Bosch one  )

Get that Purse out and get a new one on the Mota

By Christ, I've been pissing about with a charger on the MV6 for the last few weeks, being a tight northerner (and convincing the neighbours its one of those plug in hybrids)... £37 is a cracking deal. I'll send MrsGK to get one, and if shes feeling handy she can fit it too...

they must be in the shop a while before selling them so should be ok....you could leave it for a week or so and then discharge it by clipping a bulb to it and then charge it back up...this way if a battery is stored it stops the plates in the battery from sulfation and keeps the battery in good condition and alive..
