Solar trickle chargers
OK folks, I have no idea if my car has a small persistent current drain as its never left longer than 1 or 2 days between uses. I suspect however that due to having two faulty door sensors it may have, and the car may not fully go to sleep. The can gateway does go to sleep because 15mins after locking the hazard light switch and gear lever are switched off.
In June, we are going on holiday but flying this year and not taking the car as usual, this means the car is going to be left at an airport long stay carpark for just over 2 weeks. We are returning late and the last thing I want is a dead battery at 2am on a Sunday. I am therefore looking at ways of possibly keeping the battery topped up automatically whilst the car is parked, its going to be out in the open. I therefore need to find a solar charger that I can connect somewhere so that it can keep the battery in a reasonable state of charge. Any suggestions, plus where could I plug it in or connect? I also expect after 2 weeks the cars air suspension maybe on the decks, so when parking will keep that in mind with regards to kerbs etc.
