hi I am quite
new to the forum and looking for some guidance.
Tomorrow I will pick up a "new" R129, it will be rarely driven as I have a Cls and clk convertible already. I was going to simply disconnect the battery (as I do with the clk) and leave it in the garage most of the time. ( no power supply to garage) . However I am reading all sorts of horror stories about roofs/windows going out of sync. I am clear I must not jump start it if the battery is flat, now.
Can you give me any advice. I'm up to
1) park on drive ( not under cover ) and leave an intelligent charger plugged in
2) leave it in garage with two batteries in parallel, obviously disconnect before starting
3) disconnect battery and risk going through whole reset process every time, not too worried about resetting windows but roof sounds less clear.
I would really welcome your advice on this
Many thanks in advance
