I bought a AA solar charge from ebay.
It plugs into the car via the ODB port. I cycle to work now and if I'm not doing anything on the weekends it could be 2 weeks or more without using it and its never gone flat since.

Many guys had this fitted and as far as I know they are very happy. Best on the market I've heard.
This model suits all A8s as it's compatible with batteries up to 110Ah (the biggest battery on 8) I am planning to fit one one day, but so far I haven't. I walk to work, but I use car every day, if no reason to drive then I just take the car for a drive just for pleasure. I just love driving the 8  http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/New-CTEK-M...item25780aa4f4

Wot he said - I use a CTEK charger to condition and top up the battery, you can also install a comfort panel with traffic light LED's to show the condition off the battery at a glance (red orange green indicators) and then just plug into that rather than having to remove all the gubbins out to get to the battery.

Yesterday unusually I've had all evening for my self from 6pm. Soon after the dinner I was just tempted to go for a drive. But I told my self, Marcin, take it easy one evening from time to time and just do nothing. So I did, watched some Discover Channel then decided to finally see Rush so I rented it and enjoyed every minute of it. Finished watching it about 11pm so I said to my self, Marcin, go one day in a while sleep early, it will do you good. So I did. I was switching sides, huffing, puffing, gasping, could not fall a sleep, so did the usual-put my track bottoms, t-shirt, trainers and went for a 40min drive. Came back home, undressed, fell asleep like a baby all happy For some it's weird, for me it's not
