I have a sti which i only get to use of the weekend and have found that the battery keeps going flat so my question is has anybody used the solar panels you can get to trickle charge the battery, if so did it work and is there any reason not to use them on the preza.

How old is the battery/car?

In my experience batteries in motors need replacing after 3-6 years depending on the motor, its use and where it 'lives'. You can use them for longer but I can't be @rsed with hassle considering the cheap cost. Yours might just be 'tired'?

It shouldn't go flat even if you only use it on a weekend unless you only do very few miles each time. Unless you have some other electrical problem ... altnator?

If you aren't too bothered about buying a genuine Subaru battery, you can get a replacement from Toyota dealers. Mine cost £48 for my 93 wrx. Cheaper than the £80-odd I was quoted elsewhere!
