Car goes nuts...

[JnP]

I left the lights on for 5 hours and in the middle of the night the alarm went off, I figured it was its way of saying my bat's getting low...
So I turned the lights off and went back to bed.

Woke up early to try and start the car and when I tried... The car went nuts.

After the usual check up on the dash, i turned the key and tons of numbers and letters would appear on the digital screen, the door would open, the alarm would go off... etc

I was advised to start by re-charging the bat. But that means I have to take the front wheel out and have to move the car as it's parked in a slope...

Has it happened yo anyone else ?

Low battery, did it on mine before I changed the battery and bought a ctech...

What's a ctech ?

[nrick]

battery conditioner, I replaced the anderson connector with a fused connector for the ctek so that I don't have to remove the battery cover.

Sorry about previous spelling, writing an email to ctech (different company)

Other alternaitve is an accumate - i hard wired a charge lead from battery to cabin, if the car if left longer than a week or two i plug it it - keeps it topped up without overcharging.

Or use a lead which charges through the cigerate lighter port. Battery condition is an essential piece of TVR kit I have found

Thanks everyone, yeah I managed to take out the battery cover and connect my bat charger. It was a half hour job and a little pain in the ass

Battery cover? Do you not have a set of jump leads? When my battery was on its last legs I connected the Anderson plug then joined the charger using the crocodile leads.

I do but I'm on holidays and didn't bring everything with me the bat isn't fully charged but i started it and it works
