Advice needed....

Ok, so if I buy a T350 it would just be used on nice days for good, fun driving and sat covered up outside my flat for the rest of the time. Unfortunately this leads to a problem....

How quickly will the battery go flat with the car just sitting with it's alarm on? Any good ideas on a way to solve this other than taking the car for a run every few days?

I know people use trickle chargers, but I'm on the second floor and I don't think an extension lead out the window is what I'm after.

I have left mine for 3 weeks outdoors, under a cover and it started just fine.

Cheers,
Howard

Million quid says if you buy a T350 you wont be able to help yourself from driving it every, single, day..
I still sneak out of work early to get behind the wheel, and that's after paying congestion charge and parking for the day and I live 20 minutes away from the city!

Due to weather and work I left mine in the garage for over six weeks last winter. Started first time.

You may not be so lucky, but a couple of weeks at a time should be ok - the Speed 6 doesn't require the massive cranking amps of the RV8.

I don't think the T350 will be any different to any other car left for extended periods.
