Arrghh dead battery

[krisdelta]

Just returned from 17 days out of the country to a dead battery.

Walked off the plane this morning confident of a drive out on my birthday, but I am trickle charging the car and grudgingly watching the F1 for now. Must leave on charge next time or battery isolate. Annoying!

Happy Birthday!
Enjoy the race!

+1
might need more than the trickle charge
Could you not jump it?

Don't have any jump leads - major fail I know If it doesn't wake up after the race, I'll pop down to my local Halfords for a set.

Got some jump leads - didn't need them, a 5 hour trickle charge has awakened the beast from slumber Letting it tick over for 10 minutes then off to ensure the battery is fully charged
