Going away for a few months soon. Got a couple of older vehicles and wondering if i need any kind of trickle charger or i can just take out the batteries? Got a 97 e36 and a 10 plate kangoo van. Im not particularly fussed about car alarms as have gated driveway. Will any of the electrics in vehicles throw a wobbly if unplugged for 3 months?
Cheers

I doubt it with the age. Just unplug the battery and enjoy your holiday.

This...

I have an E46 and quite often disconnect the battery if I'm not using it for a few weeks.

The only issue will be the radio, losing all your presets.
