Hello,

I am looking for some advise. I have a 2019 DS Landmark Edition. I will be working overseas for 6 months at a time and my plan is to have store the car in the garage.

I just thinking about disconnecting the battery and that's it.

Has anyone done this before and any other recommendations?

 

Full tank of gas plus a bottle of Stabil fuel stabilizier.
Leave battery connected and get a Battery Tender.
I'de go as far as to put it on jackstands to keep from flat spots on the tires from that much sitting.

 

Thank you, sixpack.

 

Yes sir

 

Depending on where this garage is, a couple dryer sheets strategically placed in/around the vehicle will help keep rodents disinterested.

 

I second some form of battery tender. I too used to do many months away for work overseas.

I've not had rodent issues, nor flat-spotting of tires (shouldn't be an issue for radial tires; wasn't for me), so didn't do the other recommendations.

 

I am looking into a trickle charger - is it safe to leave that for 6 months in the vehicle ?

the garage is fully sealed but I will have to think about the rodeo issue.

 

A trickle charger and a tender are two different things, technically. I would not use a trickle charger for long-term storage.

 

Thanks for the clarification.

I had spoken to a someone at Land Rover and they recommended a trickle charger but I see that there are side effects - so I will the battery tender.
