    I am going to be putting the 360 into hibernation for a couple of months over the winter/salty months and wondered what is the best way to keep the battery charged so that the alarm and GPS tracking systems stay alive. Is a trickle charger the way to go and if so, is there a way to run the power leads to the battery without damaging them whilst keeping the doors locked at the same time? Thanks in advance.

    You can run the cable through the bottom of the door and still close the door (do it carefully) and after its closed make sure you can push the cable in and out to make sure it has not been caught. I think you need to buy an optimate battery conditioner, this is the one most people use (I think) do a search for optimate.

    Use a Battery Tender from Deltran very popular unit and works well for the situation you are dealing with
