I occasionally go away for a month or more and leave 2cars. Last time I did I came home to flat batteries on both of them - one blocking the garage door, want to guess where the battery charger was? I was wondering if anyone had any experience/thoughts/suggestions to offer...
One car is a 5 door TFSI (DSG) and the other is a 3 door 3.2 manual. The garage is a typical small garage and only just fits the 3 door - the 5 door is too long to shut the door.
I'd get a battery maintainer for the 3.2 but I'm worried that the battery mounted in the boot may be an issue with this with gas build up.
I have a solar charger that plugs into the accessory socket. I never expected it to keep the 'outside car' fully charged, but hoped it might offset some of the normal battery discharge. However that didn't seem to help at all when I last left the cars.
