I often leave my car for a long time when I go on a business trip.
In that case, I think I should ask you to start the engine from time to time.
How often should I start the engine?
And how long should I leave it after starting the engine?
I wonder if I need to operate it.

We need to check if the black box is always running.
If you don't use the black box, you can leave it for three to four weeks.
If you don't use it for more than two weeks, it's better to start the engine every two weeks.
It's better to run it because the cooling fan turns around to cool down the engine heat while idling a little later.
If you leave it for more than a month, it's better to remove the battery cable.
If you leave it for more than 3 months, it's better to remove the battery altogether.
Even if you take out the battery, you have to charge it completely because you get bitten by the charger every three months.
If the battery is discharged below 70 to 80%, the battery life will be shortened dramatically.
So if you're lazy, it's better to run it once every two to three weeks.
At least you need to start the engine.
If you operate the black foil regularly, it can be discharged in about 1 to 2 days, so be careful.
If you start the engine and idle, you can turn it on for about 10 minutes.
