Nightmare! I had the exact same battery issue.


I purchased a battery charger that you plug in at home.

In general a healthy car battery should not discharge over just a few weeks - this tends to happen when (a) the battery is old (4 years or over) or (b) if there is something draining the battery - I had a problem when a boot light didn't go off when the boot was closed. Couldn't see it of course. In very cold weather, additionally (which we haven't been having) batteries may be sluggish first thing - it's often the first warning you get of age overtaking it. Modern batteries do tend to fail dramatically, when they do, rather then give you a struggling warning. When garages are back I'd get yours to check the battery over to make sure it's still underlyingly healthy, and that there isn't an unusual drain on it. Certainly before next winter.

    • It happened again tonight. This time a group of kids ( I hate saying that, because it makes them sound less intimidating than they are), threatened to throw a water bomb at me. When I dared them, they started lobbing them. Then they started saying they were going to kill my dog and one of them jumped over the fence of the Japanese Garden and took a running kick at my dog, who got out of the way. He jumped back over the fence, then came back, came within a meter of me and threw a water bomb really hard at me.  I can't be sure it was exactly the same crowd as last time, though I suspect the male ring leader could be.  The police came and were amazing - as was the park warden - and are fairly confident of the identity of one of them and think they may have tried to arrest him before.  There were maybe as many as 15 of them, aged 16-18, all Caucasian, girls and boys (girls being just as aggressive as the boys). The ring leader is a slight man, dark hair / eyes, possibly with facial hair about 5'6", petite, wearing an all-blue tracksuit.  So please be careful when you're in the park around 6.30 / 7pm. The local SNT have been informed.

    • But I don't think that was what you meant, was it? But he can hardly be held responsible for what somebody else did!
    • But it was under our electoral system in 2019! This must be part of the right-wing media conspiracy that did for Corbyn....;-) Corbyn was very closely allied to Unite and Len....
