Since the GTV has eaten another battery by the look of it, while sitting
on the drive, what's the conditioner of choice?

TIA

Always the way.

We were somewhere around Barstow, on the edge of the desert, when the
drugs began to take hold. I remember Catman

I'm impressed as all **** with them. One has successfully kept an ailing
car battery going for months after its expiry date (winter nearly killed
it) and another was attached to a knackered bike battery for months,
just sullenly sitting with two red lights on and yesterday it suddenly
showed green and the battery is now keeping a charge in. So, each paid
for itself many times over.
These Lidaldi units are actually an older model Well-Known Make as
mentioned above, but lack the current model's bells and whistles; not
that they don't have enough settings anyway. Given they're a third or
less of the W-KM's price I can happily live with that.

That's what we use on the MX-5. Does the trick.

Hmmm, interesting. Do they normally hold stock, do you think?

If not, I'm a bit scuppered, but worth investigating.
