Take out the voltage regulator and use very fine wet/dry paper to clean the
contacts. I have seen them become pitted and stuck together from lack of
use. BTDT

I'd also disconnect the battery when you don't use the car.  It really is
safer to leave the battery disconnected as it has been known for a car to
burn up from mysterious causes. I use one of those disconnects on the
battery which makes life easier.
