just broke my arm last week so my car will be sitting for about 2 months. Is starting her up once a week enough so my battery doesn't die?

 

depends on how long you let the car run.

 

should be fine. let it warm up so the thermostat opens and rev it up and down a bit (not to rev limiter) just to keep everything well lubed and get the amps up. also you could throw a trickle charger on it for a couple hours a week and it will be fine.

 

sounds good. thanks

 

Two months you should be fine not unless the battery is old. Be sure the top of the battery is free from sulfide junk. I have a 65 Chevelle with a 1 and half year old battery that I rarely start and it cranks right up when I start it.

 

Agreed. If your car doesn't start after only a couple months of sitting... your battery probably isn't very good in the first place. On the other hand, I would start it every 2 weeks and let the engine run for a few minutes (~5minutes) to get all fluids circulated and hoses/tubes primed.

 

baterry is 6 months old so i guess i dont need to worry about it dying at all. thanks again
