There has been a lot of doom and gloom and scaremongering about this issue. But it's not just affecting rarely-driven Toyotas - it affects ALL cars - to some degree. As I explain! If you like this video and use PayPal, please encourage me to create more at https://paypal.me/stevelitchfield - thanks! PS. My battery booster is old and not sold anymore, but there are loads at https://amzn.to/4oeOO0r - expect to pay less than £40 now, in 2025, so no reason why every car owner shouldn't have one!
