So I have a meet arranged today with a few mates. It dawned on me last night the turbo hadn't been out of the garage in 3 months so I had better check it was working before my 8am departure this morning. I hadn't planned on 'putting it away" for winter so hadn't taken an long term storage precautions. I had fitted a new battery in November so wasn't expecting any issues.
Unfortunately the battery was dead flat so I had the rigmarole of jump starting it which is a pain in the arse.
Is it expected that a brand new battery will be dead flat after 3 months of doing nothing or should I be looking for something that's draining it?
Anyway put the trickle charger on last night after taking it for a 30mile run to make sure it's alright. God dam I had forgotten how fast it is and how brutal the power delivery is, really looking forward to my 120 mile round trip today.
