Don’t worry about the salt. You don’t save your wife for the next man do you?I live in New England so the salt is heavy and do not want to drive it until March. I do not have access to using a battery tender so what’s the next best thing? Can I leave the terminal off? Or do these cars needs constant power.
Salt acts quickly enough to cause issues for the first owner. Hours for untreated metal and days for metals treated with even the best rust inhibitors.Don’t worry about the salt.
Was told you’re not supposed to leave these cars without a battery for long or else the battery will need to be re programmed to the car unless I was lied tooAny reason not to take the battery out if the car and put it on a tender somewhere you’re able to?
If it's the same Ah and such, no reprogramming needed.Was told you’re not supposed to leave these cars without a battery for long or else the battery will need to be re programmed to the car unless I was lied too
Agree 100% and additionally recommend a battery tender with an AGM indicator. CTEK has them for sure, other brands probably do too.This. Buy tender, take battery out and move to a place where you have an outlet.
NopeHow about just starting the car and let it run for 5 minutes every 1 month or 2? Would that be enough to charge the battery?
Not at all. If anything you are draining the battery more. It charges when you are driving it.How about just starting the car and let it run for 5 minutes every 1 month or 2? Would that be enough to charge the battery?
Expanding on this... 5 or 10 mins of idle time will not replenish the battery from the starting effort.Not at all. If anything you are draining the battery more. It charges when you are driving it.
Good to know. I thought the battery can be charged during idle.Expanding on this... 5 or 10 mins of idle time will not replenish the battery from the starting effort.
It can. It's just not a very effective way to maintain a battery.Good to know. I thought the battery can be charged during idle.
