Car unused for long time

Dear Sifus, :wavey:

Will car battery die if you go on holiday without anyone to start your car for a period of say 1 week or longer?

Cheers

it is possible.

depending on your battery condition.

electronic/accessories/gadgets in your vehicle which might use up some power when its off....in a week time it can drain your battery out...

in short,yes it is possible.

i heard that if you have nobody at home to start the car for you for at least 5 minutes every 2 days...you might wanna consider removing the battery to preserve it..so that it doesnt get drained out....
