just a quick ?:

still on stock battery - car ~1yr old.

read somewhere here that stock battery is quite "weak"/too small for our rdx. am about to embark on a vacation for a week (8 days to be exact). with winter temps going down to 10-20F, shld i disconnect the battery for this or too much hassle to reprogram everything? i park in an indoor garage FWIW.

thx

 

To be honest, I think your fine. I've had my RDX sit in the driveway during the past snow storms in the northeast and I haven't driven it for a week too. I left my auto headlights on, and I have a 2000watt amp for subwoofers hooked up. Just my situation. As long as you turn off your headlights, and just lock it up, don't worry.

 

fm a fellow filchi, thanks for the tip dj.

 

disconnecting takes what 5 secs?

do it. for peace of mind

 

What difference would it make to disconnect or let it drain? If parking in-door I think you'd be fine without doing that.
I started many of the post about a weak battery, just had mine replaced under warranty about a month ago, car is a 2007.

 

Yurrr boyyyy.

 

No disconnect needed at all for 8 days. Eight months, yes.

 

8 days is nothing; I had the RDX sit for 2 weeks and it still start up. I have a portable battery pack to jump, for whenever it does die.
