As above, now I don't use the Scoob daily for work the battery is struggling to stay charged (it's four years old).

What's the best battery spec available to fit in the more limited space available when Hybrid FMIC is fitted? I don't mind paying a bit more if there's a small battery with higher capacity.

Old battery is 22cm wide, 14cm deep, 20cm high.

best bet is a battery conditioner matey, just plug it in and it keeps it topped up.

What if your car is not kept in a garage?

Will check what I have fitted and let you know.

you can still close and lock the car, so even sat on drive its just a cable going inside.

I got an Exide battery for Eurocarparts for around £75.

It's smaller than standard to accommodate my FMIC.

I work offshore so my car sits for 3 months at a time in my garage and is only run occasionally for 20 minutes here and there. It's been fine so far.

Live in flats and there's no power sockets in the underground car park

Anyone running an Odyssey battery, heard good things about them?

14N-FR, you know how many amp hours yours is?

Braille batteries are nice and small.
How about looking at a solar trickle charger. Can be had on the bay for less than £20
