markus037 · 11-01-2014, 07:29 PM

im going on my honeymoon tomorrow and will be leaving my car at the airport for 5 days. i was wondering if i should be worried about my battery going dead,

TheYuriPanda · 11-01-2014, 07:31 PM

I dont see why there should be a problem, alot of people do it. Win in doubt, unplug your battery?

Miller335 · 11-01-2014, 07:44 PM

I'm almost at 3 weeks without driving it and my battery is the original from 2007.

You'll be fine. I recently went on vacation for 8 days and the car started up right away on the 9th day without an issue. How old is your battery?

I travel all the time and always leave my car at the air port. 2-3 weeks never had a problem.
