Now I understand the is a plug hanging down so that I can use a connector to charge the battery with. Do I need to go to a dealer to buy this or are they available on Ebay?

Also, do they respond well to bump starting?

So, the story as it stands now, the Sag is completely flat/dead. I tried to show my son's friend the car last week, but the battery only had enough charge to turn the alarm off, but not enough power to open the door. I was also unable to re-alarm the car, and it was making a strange ticking noize?

Yesterday I had my Ctek charger/conditioner arrive, and last night I connected it to the car via the cigarette lighter socket. Now, 24 hours later.. it is still totally dead!??

Any ideas?

I have had a quick look through the owners handbook, but it doesn't tell me how to remove the battery or how/where to jack the car?

Just to let you know, I eventually bit the bullet and removed the front wheel to charge the battery. Sinse then the CTEK charger/conditioner has kept it maintained.

If anybody else is also thinking of buying one of these, I only bought the cheap MSX 3.6..

And used this to connect it through the cigarette lighter socket.
