How Long Can a Vehicle Be Parked Without Use?
1 Answers
It is not advisable to park a vehicle for more than two months. A car's battery discharges every day. Generally, it will be completely drained in about 100 days. However, it's important to note that when the battery charge drops to 50%, the car will not be able to start. Besides the battery, the gasoline inside the car will also evaporate. When a car remains stationary for an extended period, significant changes occur in its technical condition. For example, the battery's capacity decreases, and its lifespan shortens. Other issues include body rust, engine oil deterioration, transmission fluid degradation and gelling, tire deformation, brake disc rust, brake pads sticking to the discs, moisture in electronic components, contact corrosion, rubber aging, and gasoline degradation and gelling. The car's manual also states that if the vehicle is parked for more than five days, the negative terminal of the battery should be disconnected.
