It rests with a battery maintainer connected. Are you suggesting it would be better to let it be shut-down for 5-6 months? The book says to run AC at least once a month...

I think the idea is to not run it unless you're going to drive it, and a few laps of the parkade isn't driving it. Just follow the various winter storage tips scattered about Pelican and use your battery maintainer. You should be good with that.

Starting the car without reaching operating temperature is not good. And no you can not reach operation temperature via idling or driving it a few minutes. Way better off to change the oil in the fall, tender the battery and kiss her good night.

I can't really explain why, but I love this picture! It makes me want to fly around the NY streets and end up at a dive bar in Manhattan for some trouble! |
