    Battery Removal

    If battery is removed for extended period of time (2-4 months) does this cause any damage to auto's electrical systems?

    At reinstallation of battery, what must be done to re-set all the systems that have been discontinued?

    Does car have to go to dealer for computer downloads?

    Could there be any permanent damage?

    Is is better to use charger?

    Thanks

    Re: Battery Removal

    porsche do a charger for $130
    ctek do the identical charger to porsche for $104
    only difference is the porsche logo, obviously ctek makes them for porsche. the ctek charger is the 3600

    other thing is if you buy a porsche charger it comes with cig lighter conection, but for $17 you can buy an adaptor which connects it to the battery.

    where as the ctek comes with a battery connection and the optional cig lighter adaptor is brought seperate for a few $'s.




    and you may get the ctek charger cheaper if you shop around, i dont know if walmart sells them.

    Re: Battery Removal

    2-4 months is a long time. Manual sez talk to your dealer for info.

    FWIW, I'd just keep the charger plugged in (in addition to other long term storage procedures). Having a battery discharge by itself on the garage floor isn't that great either.
