Will the car battery be affected if the car is not used for two months?

[VanEleanor]

Leaving a car unused for two months will affect the battery. The battery charges automatically while driving, but it will still discharge when the vehicle is idle. If the car is not used for an extended period, it is advisable to disconnect the battery cables or start the vehicle every two weeks and drive it for several dozen kilometers to ensure the battery remains functional. Here are some precautions for long-term car battery storage: 1. Timely charging: Check the battery every two weeks during idle periods, such as inspecting the electrolyte level. The battery's electrolyte level should be 10-15mm above the electrode plates; if it is insufficient, add distilled water promptly. Owners can ask friends or family to help maintain the vehicle by starting it for 5-10 minutes every one or two weeks to recharge the battery, while also checking for any other potential issues. 2. Power disconnection: If no one is available to help maintain the vehicle, the negative terminal of the battery can be disconnected to cut off power, preventing energy consumption. Just remember to reconnect the terminal when restarting the vehicle.
