Longest camaro sat without charging
What was the longest time your camaro sat without charging and started up with no problems? Mine was 2 1/2 weeks. My 72 corvette was 6 weeks but that's a different animal. I usually try to charge the corvette every 2 or 3 weeks if sitting. I try to drive the camaro more.

I've gone 3 weeks with no issue. I would expect longer since I have only had the car from new for 3 months.

If you know you are going to be letting the car sit for an extended period of time I would either put a charger on it or put the car in transport mode. AGM batteries do not like to be fully drained and if they drop really low most chargers cant pull them back either.

Mine sits on a battery tender all the time. My previous two Gen 5 camaros, would just go dead intermittently, sometimes within days for no reason.

Never really counted the exact days, but about 2 weeks give/take.

I went about 4 weeks and it started up just fine. Of course, when it was only a few months old I went a week and it was dead as a doornail and the dealer found nothing wrong with it. Must have been a one time glitch where the electrical shutdown sequence didn’t finish.
