Default GS Battery ??

Hi All,

We have a 3rd car in the family. The GS been on the road since we bought it.

I reads somewhere where people having issue with dead battery after sitting for couples day.

Just want to know, what the best way to save the battery without running the car.

Should i disconnect the battery from it terminal?

Thanks

My 3rd car with an Autozone battery and no problem starting after almost 2week sitting in the garage,

Do you park the GS at night?

How often is couples day?

As long as the GS has been on the road since you purchased it, there is no need to worry about saving the battery as the alternator continuously charges the battery while on the road.

Over the past three years, my GS has sat for two to three weeks at a time on several occasions while we were traveling, and I had no battery issues.

I wouldn't worry about the battery dying unless you've actually had it unexpectedly die after not driving the car for a week or so.

Buy a battery tender and hook it up to your battery in your garage . It's about 50 bucks
