<DIV><FONT size=2>Conditioning chargers i.e. the ones designed to be connected
long-term (not the old-fashioned trickle chargers) are usually intelligent and
apply a charge that is relevant to the batteries needs. If this is what
you have then the battery probably is dead. Some leave them on winter and
summer, but they can get 'addicted' and the first night away from home and the
charger could fail the next morning. Unless you have a drain, and that
includes sophisticated alarm systems, an MGB battery should be fine for a couple
of months or more without being used or charged.</FONT></DIV>
