Battery charging cycle for cars in storage/occasional use

Post by X5Sport » Sun Oct 30, 2022 8:26 pm

For those members who have cars that are unused for extended periods of time, I came across this useful chart. It recommends that where a conditioner isn’t being used, the vehicle battery is recharged every 6 weeks if connected, 12 weeks if disconnected. There’s a colour chart to help you pick the weeks … the current week (44) as of posting this is a dusky Orange.

Useful info but thankfully a CTEK makes life easier 🙂
