Winter Storage

[dpaisley325]

I have stored an Infiniti I 35 every winter for several years without doing anything and it was never a problem. I plan to do much the same wth my 2003 Boxster S. My question is, Is it ok to disconnect the battery for the 6 weeks in the winter when I go away? It is stored inside a garage.

Once you hook your battery up again, you will need to:

enter your radio code

roll the windows up, release the switches, then hold down in the up position for a few seconds to reprogram the up position.

Turn the key on without touching the gas, wait 1 minute, turn it off for 10 seconds, then start and enjoy.

No radio code required in 2003.

Buy a quality batter maintainer, like Porsche's, for about $47 from places like Sunset, and keep the car pluged in whenever not being driven. Don't disconnect the battery.
