Q: I have a car that I only drive about once or twice a month. The battery gets discharged when the car is not used. How can I prevent that from happening?
A: It is inescapable that a CONNECTED battery loses a very small part of its charge – even when not being ‘used.’ The battery is, actually, being used however. The loss of power is just very minute – such as running an electric clock, etc. In any event, purchase a Battery Tender and hookup your battery. They’re inexpensive, and work like a charm. If your battery is fully discharging between uses, you’ll likely need to replace the battery.
