Whoah.. thanks for clearing that up ctscott. I was checking up on my car every now and then and noticed the car having a hard time starting up around the 4th week of sitting. That makes a lot of sense now to me.

What you do you think about wiring in a battery kill switch to "disable" the battery while it sits? Would be easier than busting out tools each time to tighten and uptighten the battery terminal cable.
