Default 2020 F-Type How long can it sit without charge

Hi,
I may not be driving my F-Type for about 3 weeks. If it's going to sit for that long, do I need to hook it up to the battery maintainer or can it just wait? Thanks.

3 weeks should be easily manageable - I left mine for nearly three months while I was self-isolating and it started on the button after that time. It did warn me of low battery (of course!) and I subsequently gave it an overnight charge, but it was fine.

But do check that the light in the hazard switch goes out after about 15 minutes when you lock it up, or it won't last 3 days!

I left the country on a three week vacation and when I returned, it fired up with no issues. I have also gone on shorter, two week trips with no issues. The only time I ever had a battery issue was when they dealer didn't exit out of their ODBCII connection correctly.

Three weeks should be OK, but if you already have a battery maintainer it'd be a bit lazy not to take two seconds to hook it up 🤷
