Default XK sitting for 2w, should I use a maintainer??
My XK is up on jack stands for 2 weeks. Battery is brand new - should I throw a maintainer on there during that time?

It wouldn't hurt, but it shouldn't be necessary. Two weeks isn't a very long time at all. Be sure it is locked and alarmed though!

Of course it also wouldn't hurt to check the voltage every few days or so....... don't let it get below 12.5 VDC or you may not be happy.

I just got back from 3 weeks holiday and just jumped in and went. No maintainer should be required if your battery is in decent condition.
