In Storage

[JohnFromPerth]

If your PS is not going to be used for a couple of months, is there a fuse you can pull that puts all the electricals to sleep so you don't have a flat battery when you come to start it again.

I know you can just drop off the battery connection, but that causes the radio to lose its memory settings among other things.

I had a Kia Sorento that the handbook suggested pulling a certain fuse that put everything to sleep for long term storage such as the keyless entry, but kept memories etc alive.

Its the couple of months thing. I would suggest your best bet is to write down your settings on paper and then reenter them. Keeping them in the radio will cause your battery to flatten over that time. A week or two probably not, a couple of months sounds much too long imho. And most importantly you risk the battery dying to save 15 minutes work. Your battery is worth more than 15 minutes of your time.

IMHO

Probably best to get one of those low current trickle chargers that you can leave connected.
Serves multiple purpose: you'll not have a possibly flat or dead battery when you come back and you'll also not lose the radio settings

Something like the one below, around $60 and well worth it it my opinion.

Ahhh a couple of months won't do anything leave it as is and push the button on your return and she'll fire no probs. Mine sat for 2 and a bit months while in the US and no issues whatsoever.

My PB Challenger and my 200 series didn't like to be left for more than approx 3 weeks ...
Started...but only just.....the immobiliser is the main culprit !!

My boat is the same you have to pull the pos off the Battery but the Paj doesn't seem effected, well for the 8 weeks that I left mine anyway.

Thanks guys.
Trickle charger looks the answer for long term storage.

Yep and some set them up with a timer. To come on for a hour or two, once a week.
I don't like the idea of a battery sitting on charge 24/7 while I'm not home.
