Searley 143 Posted October 16, 2021 Hello Fordy Guys and Gals,I just purchased a 2003 XLS ute with a Barra and am Happy with it but its going into storage for a while..Can I take the Battery out for a time and then put it back in without all this Re-Programmeing I hear about on other modern cars? Or is it Best to leave it in there and Start the motor every 3-4 days? Thanks for the Advice. Hope Everybody is Travelling well etc. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
gerg 10,871 Posted October 16, 2021 I'd just leave it in there, wouldn't worry about it every 3-4 days, more like 2 weeks and run it for 15-20 min each time (to get the engine warm and to charge it up).Sent from my CPH1920 using Tapatalk 1 Searley reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
gromet88 3,042 Posted October 16, 2021 Or buy a trickle charger. Most people have them on their 'when the weather is fine' cars. A good one will decrease the battery and charge it in a normal cycle as if it was on the road in normal conditions 1 Searley reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
