hi all, im haveing problems with batteryon my 07 RRS..i went to buy a new battery but was told no need, got to drive for at least 18 miles to charge the battery up,,,what the ek..!!! he then told me to buy a solar power pack to trickle charge the battery.... what are your views please,?? 2007 COOLRRS

You'd have to drive all day at good speed to charge it. A solar trickle charger isn't a bad idea, but to really charge it you need to get a proper charger on it. A smart charger like a CTEK is ideal.

If your battery is knackered though, it's knackered.

If you aren't using it very much and have mains power near the car, buy a CTEK 5 charger. £60 on ebay

If it's like mine with the original " wet cell " battery, make sure it has plenty of distilled water in it, but as the other guys have mentioned, get a ctek charger and give it a boost once a week otherwise it will eventually let you down 2010 RRS, TDV8
