I don't get to use my williams as much as I would like with work, the car lives in my garage locked but as the battery starts to die out the alarm goes off! when it does it resonates like mad off my garage/house walls!

I have a trickle charger but it's difficult to trickle charge as the alarm keeps going off as soon as it has a tiny bit of charge. I don't know how safe it is to keep the battery on trickle charge for long periods? the transformer/plug gets pretty hot and i don't want to burn the house down to keep a battery ready to start the car!

i noticed when changing the coolant bottle recently that the cobra alarm had a little cap on it and realised the key on the key ring was for the alarm, so I turned it off (I think?)!

the battery isn't charged at the moment but will the remote central locking not work with this off?

what do others do to keep their batteries topped up? mine usually only lasts a week or two, I think it could do with being replaced due to the lack of use possibly.
