LXPearl Posted August 14, 2008 Share Posted August 14, 2008 I would not worry much about it in a garage where it doesn't run down the battery with the locks and security system activated. It might help to get a Battery Minder to keep the battery in good condition. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I use a 3A charger w/ trickle charge since I only drive mine on the weekends, and heat like in AZ causes batteries to discharge faster than normal. Most batteries only last 1.5 yrs here (OEM panasonic lasted 3.5 yrs). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
