Default Jump Starter Packs

Mighty org. I've got a Civic Type-R and sometimes I drive it.. problem is, the fact I rarely drive it means the battery keeps going flat.

I've had a quick look on the net but thought experience would be the best guidance. Any of you got a good jump starter? It takes a bit to turn the lump over (found that out trying to jump it off a clio a while back).

Cheers!

Buy a battery charger.Then you wont have to keep forking out for new batteries as well.They dont like being left to go flat.

Why's it draining so quick? I left my Mondeo for 4 months and it started 1st turn!

I think the battery is well known for draining fast, this time I've left is almost a month. Last time it was 2 weeks but during the winter so freezing cold.

Might just get a new one if it's going to keep doing it, or do you think I could get a replacement on warranty since it's draining so fast?
