I would strongly recommend to take the bottle out of the car and clean everything. The cars are now 25 years old and the bottles are full of all kinds of crap including the mucus on the pump filter. Once you clean that it will work again perfectly. Watch out for brittle plastics: heat it up...

I am using a Lidl smart charger (the big one with starting capability - never managed to start anything on that, but it is good for topping up the battery). I switch it on once every 4-6 weeks (when I remember) and let it do its thing. It conditions the battery and charges it back to 100%. The...
