And it may be due to the fact that my XKR has basically been sitting for months now. If you recall, I'm still waiting for some time to take my supercharger out and replace some leaky heater hoses, so no driving. I warm it up in the garage every couple weeks, but I'm sure it's been taxing the battery lately. Work projects, family, and life in general have challenged my weekend and even evening commitments lately. Should be cooling down a bit after the first of the year.

At any rate! When I open the door, sometimes it's now not rolling down a bit to clear the top and then starts freaking out (you've seen this if you open the door wrong, 'vert guys). Then when I am able to open it, it drops down properly, then I close the door. It doesn't go back up, it stays. I open the door again. It drops further! Repeat in horror. Is this electrogadgetry gone awry with the battery cycling deeper over time than it usually does?

If not, wth is this and how can I repair?

 

battery wants looking at and then re-set the windows ,plenty of how-to on here

 

For a vehicle that is being garaged for any length of time, a battery tender is a good investment.

The first setting to be lost with a partly discharged or failing battery is the window limits. Check this link to the FAQ's for the reset procedure:

There have been many posts about periodically starting a vehicle during storage and the majority view is that it's better not to do this.

I'm with the majority view on this. I have a vehicle that sits in the garage for three to four months over the Winter under a tailored cover and with a CTEK charger attached. It is not started during this time and always emerges trouble free in the Spring.

Thanks, Graham- that's reassuring. I'll get the tender on it and leave it alone for a bit.
