Thanks Mikki. I’ve got on ordered from ECP. I’m tootling round in the MCS mostly, and use the A8 when in the office. So without a trickle charge it’s suffered. I’ve had the current Bosch S5 battery replaced enough times already under warranty. I’ve got a low current drain on the A8, always have. Think it’s to do with keyless and the car never seeming to fully power down. Not using it frequently plus cold weather does seem to kill the things after a few years.
I’m considering fitting a kill switch on the battery. Not sure if anyone has anyone thoughts towards that, good or bad?
