Ekona Posted October 2, 2010 Share Posted October 2, 2010 It'll need a trickle charger at the very least, and I'd probably start it and take it for a 10 min drive at least once a month to avoid any issues. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DoogyRev Posted October 2, 2010 Share Posted October 2, 2010 It'll need a trickle charger at the very least, and I'd probably start it and take it for a 10 min drive at least once a month to avoid any issues. +1 But don't take it for a 10 minute drive when its snowing Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Beavis Posted October 2, 2010 Share Posted October 2, 2010 Reguarly leave mine for approx 5 months during the winter. I dont drive it because it is normally sorned during this period. Just has the car cover on and a trickle charger on the battery. It gets the odd start up but thats it. Never had any problems. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
