Stupid Question

**Doc** · March 28th, 2006, 09:58 AM

I know this has been covered before, and I did a search but didn't find what I was looking for, but ...

I will not be driving the Viper for the entire month of April and the first half of May. It will be sitting in the garage. Should I disconnect the battery?

I remember something about a way to shut things down using the key in the door.

Thanks in advance.

Leave it with me, I'll take care of it.

But then you would have to change your sig?

Hey baby I have 3 Vipers, I'll give you the black one for a BJ and a sandwich.

Get an automatic battery tender at any auto store and keep it on a trickle charge.

I pulled off my bicep tendon last summer and could not drive my car for almost 2 Months- w/out trickle charger. It started fine.

I disconnected the battery when I went to New Zealand for 6 months. When I got back, I reconnected the battery and it started right up no problem

Thanks, I think I will go the cheap route.

I'll be in Africa for the entire time, and not the fun Africa where you get to watch wild animals from the safety of a big 4x4. I get to go to the dead kid, a mosquito just carried off that dog, that wasn't a dog it was a rat, there is a dead kid in the hallway again, he's not dead just sleeping, ok he's dead, what the hell was that noise Africa.

Lucky me.

Of course I will take pictures.

Why not just use the power off feature the SRT provides. Easy to do (see manual) - all it takes is cycling the key and then the door lock button. All energy drains except the drivers door (duh!) are eliminated.
