I wanted to share some useful information for anyone planning to leave their car for a while, especially during summer. I did some research on preventing battery issues during extended parking and found a really clear guide that explains the science behind why batteries die when cars sit unused in our heat. It covers practical solutions like using a solar charger or simply asking a friend to start the car once a week. It also mentions that even disconnecting the battery isn't always straightforward with modern cars because of all the electronics. Definitely worth reading if you're heading off on holiday soon. I feel much more prepared for my trip now.
