				Leaving the engine running whilst working is illegal and would invalidate your insurance should anything happen , it wouldn’t cost to much to add a battery and split charger but you will need to do a fair few miles to keep the battery charged up well

Every 2 days I get down to 12.3.   Then I charge. Takes about 3 hours to bench charge
