It can go for about 2 weeks before it won't start. I never understood why it needed a new battery every few years but the drain was ruining the battery by it being partially discharged all the time. My solution is a battery tender plugged into the ceiling with the plug hidden in the grill. Problem with battery disconnect is a lot of things need to be relearned everytime.

That could be a winner for my client. He often uses one of those jump packs, not sure the proper name, about as big as a small briefcase. And he says he often has to jump it when he wants to come home from some short trip. I explained that the trip wasn’t long enough to charge the battery. With that and the killswitch his main complaint was opening the hood over and over. Like I said, he’s 81 and one arm is weak lately.
I have a battery charger that I can fit under the hood after some hoop jumping. But I recall seeing some in the past that were pretty small. If it’s just a no bells and whistles two amp charger, to guess at a number, I imagine it could be pretty small.
How do you hook it to the battery terminals?
