Hi, help and advice please.
Has anyone fitted a battery isolater switch.
The reason I am asking the battery on my car goes flat the last time the vehicle was used was back in October. I am thinking the charged battery has got a drain on it .
Either the radio or perhaps the vehicle anti theft device. |

| Sounds perfectly normal if it's been sat for 5 months. Are you able to leave a battery charger attached? Can highly recommend the ctek range of intelligent chargers. |

As long as it's the type that is meant to be left connected! As I say I have a ctek charger and they are spot on.

| Got one today. I am looking to to rewire it as a trickle charger thru the cigar lighter. |

| A ctek one? It should come with a connector that can be left connected to the battery at all times and then the charger simply and quickly plugs in. |

| Which ctek model would be best? I'm well tired of disconnecting the battery over winter! I'm thinking the mx5 5.0 |

| It's probably a bit of overkill for the Cappo's battery but is the one I needed for the BMWs with their fancy batteries. |
