How to Prevent Car Battery from Dying When Not Driving for a Long Time?

[OPresley]

Methods to prevent car battery from dying when not driving for a long time: You can remove the car battery and store it in a cool, dry place. If you don't want to remove the entire battery, at least disconnect the negative terminal. It is recommended to start the car once every two weeks or let it idle in place. If the vehicle is parked for more than five days, the negative terminal of the battery should be disconnected. In principle, a car parked for more than 15 days is considered long-term parking. A completely dead battery not only prevents the engine from starting but may also cause the loss or reset of the car computer data, failure of window lifters, and locking of the anti-theft system. If conditions allow, try to let the car idle in place for 10 to 20 minutes to ensure the battery does not lose charge.
