All is not fine. You will find that your battery needs replacing much sooner because of this. |
Shhh.. don't tell that to the 5 year old battery in my 1M that started up fine few weeks ago after being in the garage for about 2.5 months without moving since October.
While I DO use a battery tender from time to time .. this winter has been really mild in TX.
I've let my car go as many as 90 days or more.
I have sometimes gotten a low battery light after doing this and then on the first drive if I go driving the car a short distance with the stereo " bumping " and then stop the low battery warning comes on. An extended drive with stereo off as well as pushing the START button TWICE when exiting ( or locking the vehicle if you prefer ) generally helps preserve the battery better.
Dabozo perhaps you should try these steps.
