    Hi guys,

    I have an F40 and I wonder how to keep battery alive after long stay in my garage ?cause I think after a month battery will be dead.
    Cause sometimes I don't use a car for 2 months !
    In garage I don't have a 220w so I can't use CTeK (btw I don't know is it even possible to use CTeK on F40?)

    What other options is ok for F40 ?

    Thanks

    Turn off the main switch. That will save the battery for at least 2-3 months. The switch is located in the front (trunk) at the drivers side.

    Will this be ok ? Also eyelet M6 can be attached to the battery and will be easy to plug in the conditioner ? Right

    Yes - the above combination works. You may find it helpful to have the 2.5m extension lead (ctek part 56-304) which will allow you to connect/disconnect the charger without opening the hood.

    But, I thought you don't have a electricity supply.

    Hi

    Battery isolator switch - the black rotary switch at the bottom right of photo below:

    1992 Ferrari F40 Serial Number 91912*-*Front bay detail

    If you use the M6 eyelets, connect the extension cable to it, and run it over the tub just in front of the wheel, then to the charger. This way, you avoid the hood pressing on the cable and making an indentation on the rubber lip on the top of the tub. I have cable tied the extension lead to one of the chassis tubes.

    I am not near the car at the moment to take a photo, but will do at the next opportunity. Pretty straightforward though.

    Asking for help, is all you ever do, 20 different threads you've started attest to that, it appears to be a one-way-street.

    I doubt you'll get help much longer, unless you reciprocate, as has been politely requested elsewhere.

    Why a one way street ? What should I do ? I don't understand you at all ?
    I said thank you for help etc who helped in the threads ? What else should I do ????

    I can say Thank you too. For your help.

    You want photos of my cars ??? I can show you which cars I have but after that you will say that I take it from Internet or smth else !
    I never take photos of my cars cause I never try to prove people smth ! What I have or what I don't have !
    I hope you understand what I mean ! If you really want it ! I can show you! Cause you still asking about it in 2 threads !
