    So freaking out a little ;@)....


    Left for work for 6 weeks and the first time I have left my 360 since purchase in July. There was a CTEK Multi use charger that came with the car and a corresponding port in the battery housing under the passenger floorboard. I read the CTEK manual and set it to the corresponding "car" mode. I did not turn off the battery kill switch in the front trunk as what I read stated this was not necessary or remove the main terminals.


    Took the covers off tonight and unplugged the CTEK. There is no response from the car. Everything is dead. I obviously do not want to jump the car to get it to the dealership (and they are closed now anyway)

    I leave again for 20 days on Wed (Monday night now) and don't want to have the engine sit for any longer without running.

    Any advice? Thanks everyone.

    Cheers,
    Nate

    Get a 'Battery Tender'!!!! I have used these for years (need to have a surge suppressor in line to protect the Tender). I don't know about the CTEK unit.

    Good Luck!!!!
