Default The Morris battery. Again.

In message ,
writes

We had a Morris 1000 in the 1960s. I remember that the dynamo was not
quite able to charge the battery if all the electrical loads were on
(heater fan, lights, and windscreen wipers).

The dynamo should be able to cope, if in good condition.

Regarding mine, the problem has disappeared, but that is probably only
temporary. Several short and longer journeys, battery connected at all
times, and battery always fully charged.

The battery is probably on the way out, as said by Huge and others, and
I'll get one when this one finally dies. In the meantime, the starting
handle works, if required :-)
