Jan, It sounds like you need one of these little auto battery top up gismo's. I had one on Delores all last winter, it worked fine. You can of course charge the battery up from the engine bay, without removing it, using the red lead thingy.

First my Nissan refuses to switch off the alarm so I can't get inside let alone start it up. So I decide to take my DeLorean to work; dead battery! So as a last resort I take off the "For Sale" sign on my Escort, start it up (thank god it did) and then find the heater not working... DAMN! At least I got the Nissan running again, bypassing the alarm, The Escort only had a blown fuse, so that's Okay too, but my D is still sitting :-( I can't get to it as my father has put sevaral containers in front of my CarTainer AND my RH door can't open when inside, so I'm going to have to wrestle out the battery over the center console; last time it took me over 80 minutes to do so... I don't even mind that I can't drive my DeLorean THAT much, but it's got 3 of my favourite CD's in the changer and it won't eject the magazine without power... On the Up-side; I KNOW why my battery is dead... Maybe I'll have better luck next weekend, if Paul doesn't try to work on his car again :o) JAN van de Wouw Thinking Different... Using a Mac...
