Battery dead after a 2 weeks in the garage

[always porsche]

Another thing I have started doing lately especially in winter is to unlatch the front trunk so if the battery goes flat then I have easy access to the battery. For security the car is in the garage so it does not matter if the trunk is unlocked for me.


I do exactly the same but i also remove the frunk courtesy light as mines lit when the lids open and on the safety latch

Huh, everyone seems to miss the fact that the battery was dead after 2(!) weeks in the garage. Even with a not so great battery that shouldn't happen! Something is draining your battery. Or you left your lights on or you have a short somewhere.

Depending upon the condition of the battery, and assuming he has no other items drawing on it, two weeks in the cold that Northeast has been suffering is more than enough......
