If you don't use the car often then suggest disconnect the battery between use by undoing the earth (negative / minus sign) cable from the battery and the battery will then last longer between use.
Remember, central locking, alarm, clock, etc won't work with battery disconnected and wit ours I have to lock the doors with central locking before disconnecting battery as only have key on one door (leave bonnet open before locking doors).
Hope this helps
Ahh shame about the cost of replacing the battery - especially (and I am assuming here) as the car probably isn't worth that much. I do, however, think your decision is better than scrapping the car.
I will still update the results of our "experiment" in case this is of interest to others. I absolutely refuse to scrap an otherwise perfectly good vehicle (especially as ours is ULEZ compliant - despite its age). Nor am I enamoured with the idea of driving more just to keep the battery going. If this little £35 gadget does the business then I shall be very happy. We shall see.........
Enjoy all those extra journeys, though if our gadget works then you might benefit from purchasing one and trickle-charging from time to time to save you having to make them.
