    You could fit a battery disconnect to isolate the battery when you put it in storage so the various circuits don't drain the battery... You'll lose the radio and any stored info in the computers, but that happens anyway if it drains to flat, but less risk of ruining a battery and more chance of starting it when you return....

    Thanks to Prides generous offer (and the backup offered by Kaz) my car is now working again.

    Thank you forum members.

    Cheers Phil, no problem.

    Just to say that if your NSX isn't used as a daily then I'd strongly suggest getting yourself a CTEK MX5 digital pulse battery charger which incorporates a fully automatic battery conditioner, so there's no need to keep having to remember to turn it on and off.

    That is what I have it connected to. I think the battery has just totally died as it was just causing the charger to flash the exclamation mark indicator and didn’t show any status of battery condition. No such problem with your replacement :-)

    Assuming you have ready access to a power supply, is the best solution not to keep the battery connected to the car (this maintaining memories on various systems) and to use a CTEK style charger for the period the car is laid up?

    Professional car storage places even dismount the battery and put it in a separate/safe place. The insurance company requires that to reduce the risk of a fire.

    If you leave the battery in the car it doesn't make a big difference if the terminals are still connected while you permantently use a CTEC charger. There are no negative effects on the electronics.

    SAE/JIS VS DIN.
    Hope it's the correct size....
