Battery charger or conditioner

[greeneyes]

With the current restrictions my WRX STi is going to be standing around for some time as I have to work from home and we are being discouraged from going anywhere other than essential journeys, not to mention the imposition of a 40mph speed limit where I live. Last time I went away for 2 weeks the battery went flat. Any recommendations for a trickle charger or battery conditioner? I can run a cable across the lane or else maybe a solar one as where it stands faces South and gets a lot of sun. Thanks

I've just a HALFORDS own brand, plug in one, about £30.

This is the newer style

had it ages, no problems.... charges up.. keeps it maintained.

 

 

no need to spend any more. I've hard wired it on the battery and just plug and play when needed.

 

may car won't go more than 2 weeks not plugged in lol

my car can last near 2 weeks but then loses it very quickly then. Even with tracker disconnected.

i normally just disconnect battery if over a week, will last 6+ months then.
