I'm looking at something like this. It can be had for about £250.

Oh yes, It will be on an FIA cut-off switch when not in use so no problem there.
Is it really worth it though? I could get a small lead-acid battery for cheaper and use one of my trickle chargers that i have laying around. I need to check if they will work with the lithium...
M4T VW:
