I've SORNed my car as I'm not going to be able to drive it for a couple

really have to disconnect it as current [pun not intended] advice seems
to indicate? If I do, I will, no doubt, have a whole lot of setting up
to do on the various electronics.

It's many moons since I last charged a car battery and at that time I
just clamped the charger leads on and let it get on with it.

Put the charger on a plug in timer set for say a half/quarter hour per day.


There is zero need to charge it every day. Once a week would be more than
enough. With a charger which either switches off when fully charged, or
goes to a maintenance mode.
