I bought my latest X back in November and have been working every weekend on getting it running right . I finished the engine this morning after bolting the last few bits back on and thought I would go for my first ever drive in it on such a beautiful day. Took the roof off, went to start it and battery was dead. Ok I’ll charge it , I thought, 4 hours later and the battery is still flat and 100% dead. Ordering a new one now, but on such a glorious day, what a shame.
Engine bay picture attached.

Such a shame! & so annoying!
If you don't have one, a CTEK charger is a really good investment for a car that's used that often and stored through the winter.
