Determining a timeline required when to charge the battery depends on the condition of your battery, and any auxiliary accessories (aftermarket) that are connected and remain ON when the ignition is OFF. From experiences with having a car stay at an airport for weeks, I have had a 1 year old battery start the car after a full, three weeks.So unfortunately with the whole plague end of the world thing going on, my si is “stuck” in the garage in front of the more useful hatchback. I’ve been turning it on and off for 2 mins every 3-5 days for now but I don’t pretend to keep doing this everyday. Any storage tips? Should I unplug the battery? Should I lower the tire pressure?
If you don’t want to gamble with time, then I would simply buy an economical trickle battery charger and leave it plugged into the car to keep the battery refreshed. You don’t need a charger with a lot of output either (1.25A is sufficient). Also, although it may not apply, you’ll want to keep a small amount of fuel in your tank with some fuel refresher; however, this is if you plan to place your car in a storage condition for months (6+).
