No car likes to be idle for long periods of time. Running them regularly keeps them in good condition I have found. I try and use my Seven at least once a week, although, during this winter, it was sometimes longer between runs out. Those of you who have seen my various posts scattered across this forum will be aware that my little car gets out and about quite a bit, doing exactly what is was built to do - provide transport.
Consequently, I have never (in over 2 years of ownership) had a flat battery, relying solely on the car's charging system to keep the battery charged. Only once have I actually had to charge the battery, and that was my own fault when I was getting to grips with the mysteries of the use of the 'half charge' facility. I don't know what make the battery is, as itis the one which came with the car, but it has never failed to start the car.
