Hi all,
Long story short, I don't have access to a plug outlet (and it seems vehicle storage units don't allow them either). So I have no choice but to let my Emira sit for over a month with no charger. My thought is to disconnect the battery while in storage. A couple of questions:
  • Is that an immediate bad idea to try to disconnect the power given the electrical system in these cars?
  • If plausible, what precautions can be taken? (keep the trunk open and doors unlocked? Trickle charge the battery by itself before reinstalling? etc.
Really hoping I can do this without having to get it towed to the shop.
Any tips appreciated.
 
The manual says 18 days you could start having issues on starting the car.
I have also read in a few posts that people have been leaving their cars unplugged for up to 4 months.

So you could be in the window of being okay. (are you a gambler) ;)
