are any of the C-Tek suitable for trying to kick a stubbornly low battery back to life? I had a C-Tek (albeit I cannot recall which model) in a GS - and after leaving the car for about 10 days the battery was stone motherless dead. C-Tek simply would not fire it up. I removed battery and placed it on el cheapo heavy duty battery charger...and eventually it sprung back to life.
i.e I am wondering if C-Tek (and model possibly) are wonderful as trickle chargers...and for constant top up.....but maybe not ideal for 'back from the dead battery resto's' (which are still possible, and preferable to forking out for batteries every 12 months).

Would that not lead to the car having to relearn stuff as a consequence?I actually used the isolator switch in the boot as my workaround for saving on battery drain, but notice that this is a rarely mentioned practice amongst forum members - so perhaps overly frequent use of the isolator is not an appropriate practice?
And knock out the alarm, immobiliser, the central locking and stop the window drop on opening the door if the battery is isolated?Would that not lead to the car having to relearn stuff as a consequence?
