Will my Toyota C-HR battery survive being parked up for a month?

I am aware of the problems with the starter battery if the C-HR is not used regularly.

I am away in the winter for about a month without the C-HR. What is the best way of insuring that the battery will not be flat on my return?

The majority of vehicles might struggle with being left for a month without being started or driven, so we would suggest using a trickle charger for when your Toyota is parked up for a long period.

We recommend the CTEK MXS charger, and you can read our review here: kit.honestjohn.co.uk/reviews/review-ctek-battery-c.../
