I use a charger every night on mine. It doesn't help during the drive, but I start every day with a fully charged battery. More capacity is obviously a better solution, but under my hood will only fit a tiny 51R battery. I use the cabin space for people regularly, so that's out as well. In the end, I'm keeping it simple and just plugging in every night.
