Re: Battery Disconnect
Gotta be clearer about the "reset" thing. When you remove battery for just a few minutes the PSM has to be reset and you can do it yourself by driving (I've done it). If it doesn't work *as described in manual* dealer is required. I would want to know what ELSE exactly needs to be reset, presumably by the dealer only?
Make sure you follow instructions for long term storage, full gas tank, new oil; there're websites devoted to this subject of LT storage.
I'd just slap on a battery maintainer and have someone check the battery's electrolyte level in a month. Also follow guidelines of LT storage for other aspects of the car.

Re: Battery Disconnect
also very happy with the p-car battery charger...i hadnt driven the car for a couple of weeks prior to hooking it up, it took a day or so to bring it to full charge...its also very sensitive to electricity use ...open the door and the red light will come on briefly...a few bucks well spent
Re: Battery Disconnect
I just want to mention again, that charging (as opposed to just leaving the car parked) DOES cause electrolyte level to decrease.
Not sure of the rate that this happens, but it happens. With a BMaintainer attached that the level will decrease steadily, however slightly. Check level to see how much... .

Re: Battery Disconnect
In fact the battery maintainer does not really charge the battery, it is just there to compensate the normal leaking current and some permanent powered devices like alarm or remote receiver (out after 7days). Once the 13,8 V is reached, the maintainer cuts off the power (led goes off), and there should be (quite) no current anaymore...until you open the door, because then the consumption will be higher than the maximum current (500MA) available.
So imho no risk of loosing electrolyte with so low current charge.
