\"\"<\/a>Flat batteries are a pain. They can be due to a lifeless battery, a \u2018short\u2019 somewhere or another reason like leaving the lights on. Things get worse when you can\u2019t find an obvious reason for the drain<\/p>\n

You can buy a trickle charger \u2013 there\u2019s some good ones round – and leave your car connected to the mains, which can be fine if you have a locked garage, but the majority of motorists use on- and off-street parking (especially in London) car parks, and often airports<\/p>\n

A great solution that we really have had success with \u2013 and undoubtedly an un-discovered gem \u2013 is the \u2018Battery Brain\u2019, a device that fits on the positive post of the battery, between all the connecting wires and the battery.<\/p>\n

The unit measures voltage drop over time and cuts off at 11.8V (stopping any further drain) saving enough power after the re-connect, to start the engine. This also applies to specialist and kitcars, especially when using additional battery power at shows.<\/p>\n

The Battery Brain comes in three versions – BB Type 1 with a simple lift the bonnet and re-connect when the unit has been\u00a0 triggered \u2013 ideal for kitcars.<\/p>\n

The Battery brain Type 111 or 1V, which operate in the same way as the Type 1 but come with additional anti-theft features so that the battery can be switched off when leaving the vehicle.<\/p>\n

There are other versions \u2013 \u2018Leisure\u2019 that delays cut-off to 10.5-volts when you are watching TV or using other devices in an RV. \u2013 12V and 24V versions and a Heavy Duty model for 2000-amps with an additional flashing cab-light giving a 60-second warning before cut-off occurs.<\/p>\n
