Thanks guys,
I did put it in Transport Mode but didn't have time to do anything else (well I washed it and put the car cover on the next day but that was it)...

4 weeks for me is not storage, its parking. I have left mine for 9 weeks unattended with no issue.

This is exactly what I was thinking. I wouldn't consider a need to really do anything for such a short period of time.

I use a battery tender for 6 months of storage, so 4 weeks seems like a very short time. But a battery tender can't hurt.
There should be no other concerns. Last edited by Rock-It Man; 10-27-2020 at 07:56 PM. |

These cars have a lot of electronics that draw minute amounts of power. Alone, maybe not an issue, but together it adds up. Every time the battery is discharged from a full charge, it will cause sulfation. That buildup on the plates will eventually lead to premature battery failure. Disconnect the battery might be a better idea, at least that will have no draw on the charge. From a simple search on the internet:
"Sulfation occurs when a battery is deprived of a full charge, it builds up and remains on battery plates. When too much sulfation occurs, it can impede the chemical to electrical conversion and greatly impact battery performance." A low amp input battery maintenance charger is still the best option.

I would attach a charger for long term storage, of course, but for 4 weeks, I wouldn't worry about it too much about sulphation without a charger. Also, make sure you get a charger that's designed for AGM batteries. They need to be charged a bit differently from standard lead-acid batteries.

I thought you're supposed to keep your gas tank full so gas won't go bad. When your tank is low, you'll have more air and more moisture buildup in the tank which makes the gas goes bad. Always keep the tank full when storing.

I routinely leave my car in the garage for 4-6 weeks at a time. I set the e brake and I don't lock it. Pretty simple.
