Battery life?

[Mr Purple]

With winter here , will be using DBS minimally over the next few months , only on crisp dry days . Will be using a battery conditioner over this time , but out of interest how long does it take to have an Aston laid up in the garage before the battery goes flat if you dont use a conditioner? (with a battery in used but good condition) cheers

I keep the DB9 on the drive, under a proper cover, in the winter months and drive it usually only at the weekends.

I have never used, nor ever needed to use, the battery conditioner.

The battery should last 6 weeks without charge (10 weeks if BDS has been flicked), though if you have an active tracker - I do - this reduces to 3 weeks.

A good 35 mile jaunt each weekend should give you sufficient recharge
