Emira Fanatic
I’ll be away from my Emira for 3 weeks…Should I disconnect the battery? (Trickle charger is not an option). Thoughts?

If your car is new… 3weeks would be in the max limit for your battery. I have been nearly 3 week and so far… no problems. Nowadays after +one year…. I know for sure that leaving the car 3 wk, means problems.I’ll be away from my Emira for 3 weeks…Should I disconnect the battery? (Trickle charger is not an option). Thoughts?
good to know all went well!Follow-Up:
After 30 days with no trickle charger connected, the car immediately started up with no issues or codes. This was with the battery connected too. (As a reminder, I parked the car in a storage unit - not my garage - so I had no access to electricity for the trickle charger).
I have the app but I can't work out how to set a battery voltage alert - any help would be much appreciated. I have had two no start occurrences and would prefer to charge the battery on receiving an alert than go through the rigmarole of unlocking doors and releasing the boot lid!I am not able to fit a trickle charger at the moment and have to keep a close eye on the charge levels which you can do in the Lotus App. I was nervous about the battery state but it is fine for 4 weeks in winter and 6 weeks in the summer (I live in Scotland). I havent driven the car for 4 weeks and I can see the car has 12.7 volts so plenty of charge. I think the lowest I have seen is 12.3 volts. I set the alarm on the app for a low battery warning but it hasn't gone off so far (if it works). Hope that helps.
Go to settings, then Alerts, then click the "+" symbol bottom right of the screen.I have the app but I can't work out how to set a battery voltage alert - any help would be much appreciated.
