Looking at keeping my future V12 Vantage in a garage without any power for a battery conditioner.

Any opinion on the best way to avoid the battery going flat if left for a few weeks (and thus any of the electrical issues/gremlins it may cause)?

I've heard of people using battery cut-off switches (do these exist in the Vantage? I think i read they're in the DB9?), or just manually disconnecting it?

Sadly i don't think a solar charger is an option due to the garage location. I do actually own one of these i once used on my Z4 (not in this garage, diff situation), i'm not convinced it does much (i should probably test it with my voltmeter).

I guess i could just have a charger pack ready to go - i just dont like the idea of a car running flat without understanding what consequences there may be beyond simply not being able to start it.

I will let you know in a month or so as I disconnected mine on 11 Nov 2016 and will connect it back in early April 2017. From what I am guessing, my seat, windows, radio and redo the misfire learning. Might also have lost my garage door opener code.
would be keen to hear! effectively this is the most basic option i have.
