battery/charging system problems

[sp2c]

Not been using the car much recently, probably every 2-3 weeks & every time battery hasn't enough charge to start the engine
Is this normal or do I have a problem?
New battery 12 months ago
Any help appreciated

If you are making relatively short trips It may not be enough to give it a full charge. You may want to put her on a trickle charger if you have access to a power socket.
If not, get one of these, they are truly life savers for all things charging...

Tbh sounds like battery is foobar, possible if you have let it run out a few times. Do you use a conditioner?

Seconded. I use the ctek 3600. Worth £40 just to keep the battery alive.
