Car is automatic . I have a ctek charger but dont need 2 in brisbane,1100km away , but need 60 m of cable to get to nearest power outlet . getting battery out is a 15 min job btw rather than 2mins it normally takes am in a public carspace . doesnt really get rid of the problem .

Not in a postion to charge the vehicle or go on a long drive to charge car, for the time being. I must assume i have a discharge/leak somewhere as the battery appeared fine from autoelectricain test. So i have disconnectd the battery while not in use. My question is: What will happen...

great. thanks

A good charge ? Would a 10 minute drive be a good charge? is idling charging the car as I have no need to drive for 4 months thanks

if i go to an auto electrician ,is this the alternator testing you describe something I would be charged for or is it usally a free test?

I have suspected that for a long time but cant locate anything so far. even 1 month sitting in a modern car with computer chip, antitheft should be fine . Am I wrong?

the 13 hour trip shopuld have drained the battery that being the case . RACQ did a check on old battery and alternator seemed fine. but would an auto electrician do the same test or do something more sophisticated and involved ?

no caps as its a sealed battery

my thoughts exactly , yet he is dealing with this day in and day out so whats his agenda?

prior racq guy did that and indicated battery was marginal so I bought the new one as i will be away for 4 months

THANKS GENTS. EXCELLENT ADVICE BY ALL. WENT WITH THE USB CABLE, BUT RIPPED OFF AT $10 FROM OFFICE WORKS. Time restraints got the better of me. CANT CONNECT TO THIS NETWORK ACCORDING TO THE TECHIES though AT HOME WIRELESS WOULD HAVE BEEN FINE

Is this a usb port? Is this a USB 2.0 port below the Ethernet port which was mentioned . See file attached If so what is the cable name with RJ45 at the other end? As this is Imac computer would a TPlink be plug and play. If printing is my only requirement I think TPlink might be over...

In my location eg hotel , I have a wall connection to the internet where the Ethernet cable plugs into from my computer. My printer also has the same connection to my computer, so I have to disconnect the internet to print. What thing do I have to buy so I can run printer and Internet...
