In Reply to: Battery life of 2001 Z8 posted by Dave Smith on February 17, 2001 at 08:01:51:


I recently purchased a 2001 Z8. It currently has 175 miles on it. I went to start it the other day and the battery was dead. I called the dealer and was told that "this is a normal occurance for this car if you don't start or drive it regularly". I hadn't started it in about a week. They said that the computers on the car are a constant drain on the battery, They then sold me an auto shut-off charger. Has anyone else heard of or experienced this problem??

I've had my Z8 for about two months and since it is the monsoon season here in NorCal (sigh!), it is not unusual for it to sit for 2 weeks without being started. No problems so far. I recently bought a "battery tender" trickle charger but have yet to hook it up. Anyone have experience with this? KQS
