Battery that is :D
The original was changed at 14 months old and that replacement made it to now so was better than the first, so will get a new one Monday/Tuesday.
Even though I keep it periodically conditionally charged I guess they just last better if the car is actually run.

I think that's true Kate. A battery that's stood idle, especially through the winter will not last very long.
One of my sons has a 2002 Corsa (excuse my language )Posted Image. It's still on the original Vauhall (excuse me again) battey. The car's done about 120k miles.

yep :good:

The battery is regularly on a trickle charger so it did last pretty well to now over 13 years so I guess I can't complain.
