Ive been wondering the same thing but mine would be more of a whole winter type of thing, not just a week or so.

you guys need battery tenders, they bring the battery up to full charge, and then cycle on and off to keep it at full charge. A regular trickle charger will not do this, some of the better ones will shut off when they reach full charge, but thats it.

if you only have a trickle charger, and if it's only going to be a couple weeks, yes.

Will a complete discharge of this battery (680p) decrease its life?
