How to store long term?

[EricBNYC]

Greetings all,

Bought my new SX X-Pro last week, in blue, really love it

I'm in Florida. I have a dedicated parking space but its outside. I need to travel for long periods, weeks or even months at a time. I have someone who can start it for me occasionally.

Is starting it once a week for ten minutes enough? I suppose that sitting without moving is bad for the tires? What about just disconnecting the battery instead?

thanks all, love my Telluride

Eric

Is there anyway you can get an indoor parking location with power for a battery charger? I know there are many places in Florida that have indoor parking offering this since there are many people like you that travel and live there. I'm not trying to jack up your expenditure also! Usually the typical car to keep outside in the elements is something older since the Florida weather can be brutal on the cars finish, the exterior, and the tires, At a minimum, cleaning the car well and then keeping a quality cover on it would help. Either disconnecting the battery (which is a pain) or finding a solar power battery tender may work. Good luck.

Something along these lines would work although having the car covered would be an issue unless they make a cover with some type of clear opening.

Thanks! HOA rules mean no car cover, no powered outlet for a battery tender. I don't think there's any convenient indoor parking nearby.

Hoa may have something on this also. Fortunately the hoa at our place in NC isn't as restrictive.
