My 04TL/Auto/Navi will be in the dock for over a week, while we are gone on vacation. What are the chances of running out of battery? I haven't setup HFL.

Any extra precautions that I can take before leaving?

Thanks.

 

I think that battery problem only exists in certain cases. When i firt bought my car, i had to leave that same day for a week. Whne i got back, first thing i did was rip the air apart with vtec, had no problems with the battery.

 

shouldnt be a problem unless you have a bad battery like many other TL'ers here on the forum. i dont drive my car on the weekdays, only on the weekends and have no problem starting up at all.

 

I spent part of the summer in Argentina and was gone for 2 months. WHen I returned, my battery was dead...really a goner. Had to have my car transported to the dealership and the battery replaced. I noticed that the battery is made by Delphi and hope their batteries are better than their radios.

 

If you're worried about it I would recommend getting something like this ...





You charge it ahead of time and leave it in your glove box. If you come back to a dead battery plug it in to the lighter and in 10 minutes you've got enough juice to start 'er up.

Here's a link to one example, (it's just to show you what I'm talking about, I'm not recommending this brand)

 

thanx everybody for your replies and thanx brewmaster for the tip.

if ur goin away it may not be a bad idea to disconnect it, while it will disable the security system, the car wont start, also less of a chance of depletion.

 

My 04 TL sits for 3 weeks at a time in storage, have yet to have it not start.
