Hi Jeffrey, before storage, it is recommended that the battery is fully charged, has the proper hydraulic liquid amount (if it’s serviceable), make sure that the terminals are clean then disconnect the battery. Most people recommend disconnecting the negative terminal only because it may be safer, while others advocate disconnecting the positive or both. However, everyone agrees that using a battery maintainer is best. Please contact us at producttechsupport@goldeagle.com if you have any questions about this. Thank you.

Or would leaving the positive side hooked up all of the time not be good?

Although it is really not necessary to start the vehicle once it has been properly placed in storage, some mechanics may recommend starting the vehicle once a month at least. It does not need to be on for more than a few minutes. Please contact us at producttechsupport@goldeagle.com if you have any questions about this. Thank you.

I have a battery maintainer running all the time, and I haved filled the gas tank and added fuel stabilizer to premium gas. How often do I need to start the car in the garage?
