Hi,
I wanted to pick your brains. I have a st1300 fitted with a datatool alarm system, which continually drains the battery. My garage is not near the house so I can't just plug it into a charger. It means taking the battery off everytime to recharge it.
I was thinking (not easy) to buy a car battery with a fairly large capacity, leave my battery on the bike and every time I park up the bike to connect it to the car battery, like a trickle charge if you like, so the bike battery in the bike stays charged.
What do you think. Would it do the bike any harm? Good idea or stupied. Any comments welcome.
