when you do drive it, do you drive it with your lights on? my car was sitting for 2 months and all i had to do was jump it. and are you sure they are dead? your terminals tight?

if you want to keep the mini battery, why not, buy a battery tender (brand name).
works like a charm. i had the same problem, don't drive the car much, go to the track and back. i think they are 40-50 bucks.

if you have power close to where you park your car the little battery tender/chargers are great. You leave the tender attached to the battery and have a plug attachment strung (if the battery is in front, you wouldn't even have to open the hood to make the connection).

I use one with my mini battery in the trunk.. I don't know the brand, but there are several to chose from. Cost less than $40. The wiring is small and flexible so its easy to route.

There's definitely a problem going on there. I've had my oddysey mini battery for 4-5 months now and no problem whatsoever, even though that I only drive my car on the weekends.

Check your terminals and altenator cuz that's no normal, just my 2 cents.

what do i do to make sure everything is working properly? I have NO idea how to relocate the battery to the trunk. Even if i read directions i won't know how to do it. I never do the work on my car.


Anything else you guys know of...?



Thanx for the Help!
