Using Battery Maintainer

Hello,

This is my first winter with my 2001 S and I plan to drive it when the Colorado sun is out and there is no ice or snow on the ground. That means that I will not know how long it will be between drives.

I also know that I will be out of town for 11 days so obviously the car will be in the Garage that time as well.

So if you know you are not driving your car for a week, do you put it on a Battery Maintainer (cigarette lighter model)? 2 weeks? Month?

I do not want to have a dead battery, but I also do not want to needlessly charge the battery.

So just checking what the tribal knowledge is out there! Thanks in advance!

John
