Hi there,

Hoping to get a V8 Vantage.

My predicaments:
- Where I live we have a communal underground car park for residents with no power points
- I sometimes have to go away with work for 6 weeks at a time

Looking for a way to stop the battery decharging every time I go. Was thinking maybe a battery cutoff switch, but I heard from AM that this will reset various warnings and so would require a visit to a servicing centre each time (albeit for only a few minutes).

Was wondering if there are any battery conditioners you could maybe charge at home, then store in the boot with a trickle charge going in via the battery input in the boot?

Any thoughts would be really appreciated,

Cheers, Charlie

Just been searching online for a Battery Booster Pack. I found the official Aston Martin one but that requires a plug socket (not rechargeable unfortunately). Does anyone know of a decent Battery Booster Pack that can be put in the boot and recharged separately? Live in a place with communal underground parking so no battery points.

Cheers, Charlie
