Hi
This is my first year with the Cerb, and its tucked up in the garage now. I am planning to drive it as much as i can. However with a foot of snow today, its got me thinking. With the car stationary for long periods at this time of year. Is there anything i can do to help the car? I have purchased a battery charger to maintain this.
Thanks
Mark

Get it out when a nice day comes and use it. Mine lives outside and has done so for all 9 years of it's life and it's never been a problem doing that.

My Cerb (sadly I don't have it now- looking for griff for next year!?- Kev, Don't tell Sara!) used to spend all winter in a garage, I never used it. It stayed on a CTEK charger which ensured the Alarm and doors etc never gave me a problem. Every two weeks I would run it, sometimes round the block but kept the revs moving rather than sat on idle for 10 mins... Anyway it never missed a beat and if I had to guess it did 20 miles between the months of Nov-Mar

Mine lives in the garage but comes out when it is fine...including in the winter. These cars like to be used.
