Do I need to use a battery conditioner on a nearly new car?
We will not be using our car for about two and a half months in the autumn. Do you think that we need to fit a battery conditioner whilst we are away? The car, a Cupra Formentor V2 1.9 bhp was new at the end of May this year and is kept in a locked garage. I have used this conditioner many times before but on older cars.

We can't say for sure if a battery conditioner is essential for 2.5 months, but on a new car with systems such the alarm and other security features drawing a small amount of power it may be worthwhile. It certainly won't do any harm, and will help prevent battery deterioration.

High quality SUV that feels special. Great performance and sound from top models. Stand out styling and offers something different.
