Maplin do a range of solar chargers which could be put on the roof & connected up to charge the battery. PLEASE make sure the lead has a fuse in, as if any shorts occur it could set alight to the car!

I am sure this is probably a silly question but I will ask it any way. I may be able to get a garage but it will not have power. I was wondering if any one has come up with a system to keep the battery charged using a battery charger/conditioner and mobile power/ batteries? TIA |

You can buy solar power trickle chargers, does the garage have a window? |

Just been reading a thread about that, the garage has no window so it may have to be mounted on the roof? Thanks for the info though. |

This might work disconnect the termianls from the battery and couple up to a battery booster pack. Keeps the alarm systems going but the battery stays fresh and doesn't have to be moved. Takes 2 minutes to disconnect the clamps tighten up and away you go. |

If I was going down that route I would buy/obtain a spare battery and get one of the plugs that fit into the cigar lighter socket. Then you plug it in and disconnect the battery. Assuming that the cigar lighter works with the key out of the ignition. |
