before yesterday i'd not driven my Z at all for two weeks as ive been bikin' it to work (to get fit/save petrol but mainly so no-one keys my bodywork). went to drive her yesterday and battery was flat as a pancake (even alarm had stopped working and luckily i could get in passenger-side door using lock)

i knew the battery was on its way out anyway - its been in the car since i got it 3 years ago. bought a new one from parker's down the road (£60), took the Z for a nice 'tour' through the countryside and wow what a difference its made. engine more powerful and responsive and the ride just feels so much smoother. new battery is the best mod you can get! :p

I have a battery conditioner that I leave connected all winter (now that my car is "resting" over the winter). Costs a little bit less than a new battery, but it means it's always fully charged and the battery should last years longer.
