How long can you leave your WR1 before the battery goes flat ??

Thanks

It depends on the condition of your battery before you start, and is the alarm on, ambient temp etc..

Anywhere between a couple of days and a couple of months, if not more.

2 weeks for mine then its flat. Not much fun when the alarm starts going of at all hours due to the battery being flat with you running for a spanner to disconnect it before waking the neighborhood lol.

Mine has been left for 6-8 weeks without any problem.

Recently it was left for 5 weeks and it only just managed to fire up... but I'd had the ignition on at some point during the five weeks whilst "messing" with the car.
