My Cerb won't start now!! Battery is tired of sitting around! How the hell do I keep it charged when it's tucked away under the panel? Has anyone got a trickle chargerthey could recommend?

You need an acuumate or optimate. I have mine plugged in to the fag lighter.

This is the puppy. The fag lighter cable is an extra.

A must for any TVR unless you use your car daily, they are more or less battery conditioners.

A second option is one of these cost less than a fiver and serves me very well. I leave my car for weeks at a time and come back to it and it start first time every time.
