The old SZ has been dry stored for three or four years due to covid and a leg operation. Want to get it out the garage ,but battery is FUBAR although on a trickle charge not a volt to be seen. The Bad new i reverse in!! the good news is the battery can be reached...just. The bad news is the garage is in the garden with no vehicular access and jump leads are tooo short. My Volvo also has a rear battery ,but has a 'positive terminal' in the engine bay so i can put jump leads on it to get the car started and back in the open Question Does a 1990 Spirit have such a 'out of jail' set up or am i left to doing a limbo changing to a new battery? chassis is MCH 33893

Ron, my 1989 Mulsanne doesn't. So weight lifting I'm afraid. Mark |

You might try a motorcycle battery just to get it out of the spot. Smaller lighter but maybe enough to get it going |

Forgot to add- Bad gas may be the bigger issue after sitting so long |
