Removing battery to charge?

Seems like a massive pain. I stored my car in a storage unit with no way to trickle charge. I just made sure to go start it once a week if I could not drive it that week. Anymore than a week the battery would die.

 

If you can't run it or charge it every week, I'd disconnect the battery so it doesn't drain

 

Yes, but would be a huge pain in the ass.

I would just get a remote battery disconnect.

I'm not sure there's enough empty space above the battery in a 458 for that?

 

I was just doing a quick search and posted the first one I could find. Here is another one. Anyways, there are many types of these and I think there is plenty of room on top of the battery. Alot of us have installed Audio Amplfiers on top of the battery so plenty of room for that.

really surprised one of the vendors hasnt marketed this to the ferrari people.

 

I believe you can just flip the bar on the negative side terminal (right in the front) without removing anything. The only thing I'm unsure of is if there is anything hooked up directly on the other side.

 

Yeah, you can but I personally wouldn't want to crawl in the floor board every time I parked my car. lol

 

You would have to lift the quick disconnect terminal clear off the battery terminal after flipping the lever open or it would still remain in contact with the neg terminal and place a separator on top of the battery terminal to prevent accidental reconnection or touching the terminal.

 

If you search around Ferrarichat, you can find discussions of people using something like https://goalzero.com/products/goal-zero-yeti-500x-portable-power-station to power a CTEK battery tender for cars that don't have power access. You would just periodically take the power station inside to recharge.

 

Good option......... but I'd hate carryin that heavy sumgun back and forth.
