    303 got a reaction from Test Drives Unlimited in Any reasonable solution to battery drain?   
    Ended up taking it back to the main dealer that did the warranty work incl. the 60ah battery replacement a few years back. After explaining the issue and asking if they had anything beefier "can you fit a Hilux battery in there?"   they found a 65a Toyota battery (£85) and offered to fit and test the alternator gratis (all good), while I waited which was more convenient than doing it myself and having to book a slot at the local tip to dispose of the old one. Not 100% sure but it sounded as if the 65a is now standard replacement; so stock 40a, uprated to 60a, and now uprated to 65a.
    My Covid usage sounds identical to @GravelRash  but outcome more similar to @NJay 's last comment.
    Trickle charge would be the obvious solution, but not practical where I live, so I've bought a solar panel to keep the power greedy little sh@t topped up when not in use. It's been making me nostalgic for my GT-Four - four months travelling, left on the drive, started first time.
    Thanks for the help!
