Tuscan Batteries

[The Busman]

Chaps, would welcome your thoughts.... Acquired my Mk1 Tuscan a couple of months ago, and the smile just gets bigger.....! Last weekend, after a couple of cold starts, and stupidly not connecting the trickle charger, and leaving an interior light on, the battery was flat the following day. Started it with jump leads, but two quick questions? First I have a 'battery box' charger from Halfords, that fully charged just didn't have enough power to turn the engine over. Are there any better, industrial type units that might be worth trying..... ? Second is it worth changing or getting a battery upgrade. The last owner put a 072 3YR unit, ex ATS on the car four years ago, since which the car has covered 1500 miles only with little use...Thanks, Ian

Chaps .Thank you so much for the feedback. I suspect the car was stored and had a number of jump starts weakening the battery. Will sort this weekend and advice re type and best prices really appreciated. Thanks Ian
