Dead Vantage battery after 2 weeks of inactivity?

[revs88]

Hi Chaps,

Just wondering, as I've just booked a 2 week holiday for Jan - Is MY08 vantage's battery likely to be dead when I get back?

It will be parked outside (no garage) and plugging in a battery conditioner is not an option either.

Cheers, Richard

shouldn't be. i went away for 2 weeks in May and mine started first time when i got back in it. but then, i've heard other stories of the battery being flat after that period of time!

so.....a lot of help from me there then.

Just press the battery disconnect button before you go away.

Agreed. Not sure how this affects the security system though...

[hussar10a]

Not at all if I remember correctly.

Mine has been sat in the garage for 7 weeks whilst ive been busy and it started fine yesterday

Its always a great drive when you've not driven for ages.

Where is that then, and what does it actually do?

Will you loose all the memory stuff on the radio and seats etc?

the buttons in the boot on the right and the alarm radio etc are all ok .it switches off all non essential systems to help the battery life
