For one reason or another ive not had a chance to get out in the T350 for a few weeks. I checked it this morning and the battery still seems fine, it started with no problems so I let it run for 20 mins or so just to give it a little charge (if only to give back the power needed to start it). That got me thinking, how long can you leave your 350 before the battery goes flat? I store mine in a secure garage so don't have the alarm on so hopefully that will help a little.

(a trickle charger is next on my to buy list but not managed to get one yet)

2-3 wks maximum, less in winter. If the battery is 3-4 years old or more the winter and little use will knacker it, especially if it goes flat ie not on a trickle charger.
