Default Quick bit of advice please
I am off on hols for 2 weeks tomorrow and I know when I get back my battery will be dead unless I leave it on charge. I've got an optimiser charger. Is it safe to leave it on for 2 weeks?. Stupid question I know, but i'd rather check first.

Yes mate, you can leave it on as long as you like. It's self regulating. Hope this helps. Enjoy your hols

My battery also goes flat even though its new, after about 2/3 weeks.

Perhaps its something to do with its 2 alarms and tracker??

Its because you don't drive it fast enough when you use it to recharge it
