@christianSpaceman can I ask how much use the car gets? Asking because I often worry about my car battery. I don't use our car much, can be stationary for over a week at a time, but when I do use it I drive it for a fair distance. 50-300 miles. I've not had any problems yet but am waiting for the day the battery goes flat.

I've had this before with a really dead battery. It's like it was just absorbing all the power from the other battery. The only way we could get the engine running was to disconnect the dead battery completely. Then it started OK, jumped off the other battery, but as soon as you disconnected the jump leads (bit tricky to drive home with them still attached) the output voltage from the generator went mental without a battery to charge.
Ok - thanks both, I'll pick one up.
I thought as much, the only thing that made me wonder was not being able to jump start as I thought that this meant you're technically using the other cars battery...
