Disconnect the battery?

Suggestion
I would be inclined to disconnect the battery, because getting at the flat battery if the frunk is shut is a right pain, also flattening the battery is not good for it.

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 1 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

I am going to be away in December (work/holiday) and hence my car is not going to be driven during that time. Normally I drive it at least once a week and it always starts first time with no problems and the battery holds charge well. It's stored in a garage with no electricity supply so trickle chargers etc are out of the question. So what's the best thing to do? Disconnect the battery? Leave it and hope for the best? Or is there something I should do to preserve the charge? Your suggestions are most welcome

POST 2Original post

POST 3Original post

If you disconnect the battery don't forget to leave the frunk open.

POST 4Original post

Is there any way that you could connect a solar trickle charger? They are not fantastic but probably enough to keep the car topped up whilst you are away

POST 5Original post

You could connect another charged battery alongside your giving your car at least double its usual power supply.

POST 6Original post

I would be inclined to disconnect the battery, because getting at the flat battery if the frunk is shut is a right pain, also flattening the battery is not good for it. As said above, leave the frunk open and if I were you leave something in the way of the latch as it's surprisingly easy to forget and close it!

POST 7 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Thanks guys....disconnection of the battery it is and I will put a towel or something to prevent Frunk locking/closing.

POST 8Original post

Just leave it. I sometimes leave mine for a month and no problems (except, er, when I had a weak battery and a tracker draining it...). It's just a car.

POST 9Original post

battery Surprised no one has said, take the battery off the car, take it home or where an electricity supply is available and put it on the trickle charger then it will be perfect and ready to take back and start the car :thumb: And yes put something under the bonnet to stop it fully closing :roll:
