Thanks for your replies - I don't know if there's a fault or not, but maybe the tender is the answer so the level of charge is always maintained. I've been using a charger for short bursts and a solar charge for long spells of inactivity. This however is not strong enough to prevent the battery from running down. I'll give the tender a go and see if it'll maintain a proper charge so the alarm doesn't go off or the hood won't open.

Regards, Barry.
