I've used battery tenders in the past, but I'm thinking about simply disconnecting the negative cable for 4 months.

These are separate views of the same evidence. Frequency alone does not establish a fix, and these counts must not be added together.

Coverage and how to read this overview

Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

POST 1Original post

I am about to put my 2008 RS 60 Boxster S away for the summer. Yes, that sounds silly, but we're in Florida for the winter and head north for the summer. I've used battery tenders in the past, but I'm thinking about simply disconnecting the negative cable for 4 months. Any thoughts? Is this going to be an issue? On my older 50's and 60's cars I simply disconnect the negative cable but those cars have no electronics to worry about. What do you recommend?

POST 2Original post

Should be fine as long as you are absolutely sure someone won't close and latch the hood If you plan on locking the cabin doors rbefore disconnecting the battery, you might set off the alarm when you recommision the car. Just be prepared to quickly open the door and insert the key.

POST 4Original post

for an extremely long hibernation like 4 months, I personally would not feel comfortable leaving a battery tender hooked up without being able to check on it once in a while. is your garage secure? I leave the windows down on mine and always leave the frunk unlatched. I run the tender cord under it. I wired up a connector directly to the battery that sticks out of the battery compartment. also, you could get a quick release for the negative terminal. I'm a big fan of those and always install one.
