I've left mine for the odd week and never had any problems, but you could get one of those small solar panels that clip onto your battery and keep it topped up or you could disconnect your battery which is fine if it's in garage and left unlocked but a pain if left on the street as you're then have to use the man lock in the pass door to get in again. 2008 G4 RRSport TDV8 current

Ok thanks for the advice- I can leave it secure so sounds like battery disconnect might be best - so should I remove both terminals? Thanks |

Just remove the -ve lead as it's usually easier, but either will do. No need to take them both off. |

Never touch the positive terminal with the negative still attatched - thus you should remove the negative or both, but not just positive. |

Do you connect your solar charger via the EOBD connector and leave the panel on the dash? Thanks |

You got tow electrics fitted? If yes, get an adaptor lead for a ctek charger and you can trickle charge whilst away..... Visitor from fullfatrr.com

Ideally connect a Ctek to it to keep the battery charged. You can connect it up to the battery and lock the bonnet if you don't have the option of using the towing electrics to connect to.
