Title: Another Power FC question
Post by: FD3S Efini on June 18, 2010, 09:08:48 PM
ok im storing the car for a few months due to work reasons and i have a question, if i disconnect the battery for a prolonged period will the Power FC lose its map...im asking because i will be disconecting the battery for about 5 months and i want it to be drivable when i get back.

i hear that it can be disconnected for over a year so it should be fine

I had mine disconnected for 4months over the winter and it was absolutely fine, fired up on the button.
 
Just remember to fill with fresh fuel before giving it any beans as fuel is supposed to go off when stood for any length of time.

Left mine for 6 months and no problems.

As said, new fuel when starting again. Leave handbrake off (if possible or crack it every week to avoid it seizing) and roll it back and forward every week or so to avoid cracking the tyres and you\'ll be fine!!
