Getting the best from the Deta DG1803

A lorry with a sleeper cab runs the heater, the fridge and phone chargers all night on its batteries. Check the clamp holds the battery rigidly, since vibration is a big cause of internal damage. Repeated jump starts from the yard tractor are a sure sign the battery is finished.
