My GT3 has a tracker (Cobra Trak 5) and after 10 days the battery is flat as a pancake, this is quite normal I understand. I get a warning light on the dash indicating electrical failure, plug in a charger and it's ok for another 10 days.

Is there a better / bigger battery that I can get that will keep things ticking over for a while longer?

Cheers

leave it on trickle charge, should be fine, I reg leave mine for 5 days, and then just run the engine for a few mins.

The battery conditioners from CTEK are the way to go. Plugs into the cigarette lighter, no fuss or bother.

Keep the GT3 & Lotus on them not a problem at all

PS welcome to the forum & yet another GT3 at the party.
 
Can't recommend a battery conditioner enough, never had a single

problem with it, welcome to GT3 central.
