Never thought about it due to having a charging system built into my garage.

Why would you want this with a trickle charger?

If you're 200 miles from home, you'd need a long extension lead for a trickle charger.

Its for my sound system mainly. But would aid starting.

Electrically powered Cerbera? My sound system used Optimax

Optima Yellow Top battery, should give enough juice for both car and s/system

You might be two hundred miles from home but I bet you arn't twenty meters from the nearest socket outlet

Besides if its the car park thing, just stick a battery in the boot and have a set of jump leads.

If its the sound system surely upgrade the alternator?

The alternantor wouldnt sort it out as its a sudden high power usage rather than constant power drain.

What sort of sound system is this , are you sticking the air horns from the QE2 on your car?

Used to have a MGZS with a "loudish" system and the bass thump would blow a 60amp fuse
