geared Posted January 16, 2013 Share Posted January 16, 2013 err no. If your car battery is going flat then it's probably knackered, or there's a wiring fault in your car. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

alchresearch Posted January 16, 2013 Share Posted January 16, 2013 The thing to look for is what's making your battery flat in the first place - hard, long starting, followed by short periods of driving? When was the last time the car was serviced? How old is the battery? (The old rule of thumb was that it took six minutes of driving for every one second turn of the key when starting).
