Doubt you would have got much change out of £150.00 for battery and certainly having forked out for it, best to use your car. I recently sold my car via webuyanycar.com - very pleasant experience & was roughly what I was expecting. Pop your bangers reg jnto their website to get an idea of price - they do send e mails once a fortnight/month just as an aid for you. Easy enough to delete - don’t even have to read valuation. They literally buy any car - if you can’t get it to them, they will charge you to get it there or recommend a co that will do it for you. Must say, mine was a 2014 reg and whilst a bit suspicious, paid extra to get money into my account as needed it for next car but was assured funds had I not gone down route I took would be in my account within 5 days. I now live in the country - every time I have been back to Dulwich and surrounding area, normally get a fine for driving at wrong time or parking at wrong time so if I drive now, park in West or East Dulwich and do everything else by public transport and walking. Were I still to be living in ED then before I left was pondering this very issue but since I have been back regularly for health reason I no longer drive but take the train and then buses, walk or Uber. Much cheaper than running a car and had I stayed, that would have been the course I would have taken. I don’t go out everyday, have an allotment or job to go to or family so in my case, would be cheaper not to have a car. Was truely shocked at the cost of second hand cars…..but where I now live only has a smattering of buses so no choice but to have wheels to get from A to B etc. -
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.
