It's in there somewhere

Hi Pete

It's a Mercedes but I can't remember the model number.

Fortunately I didn't need to use my car urgently and I knew it would be flat as I had been away for a while. So in the end I ran an extension cable out of the house window and hooked up a battery charger. Since that time I installed an 80 Watt solar panel in the roof box of my car (so hidden and water tight when not in use) and can use it to charge the battery if it goes flat, and use it to charge some power/battery boxes I made should we have a power outage - time to charge is weather dependant of course.
