I am going on vacation and leaving my HCH2 behind, where it will be sitting for about 18 days. I saw under the hood the warning sticker not to let the car go 30 days without being driven. I have heard stories about the Prius having battery problems if it sits for a week. A friend wil be housesitting but I don't trust her to drive my car. Will my car be OK, or should I make other arrangements to make sure that the car is driven during this period?

 

i think it should be fine. mine went at least 30 days without being driven last year after i had knee surgery. started right up when i finally got back into it.

 

Left mine for six week last winter. Charge bares were still at the same spot when I started it.

 

Agreed. I've left my HCH for as long as 4 weeks in a parking garage. The battery charge when I returned was similar to when I left with no problems.

 

I've been drunk at home for longer than that. Don't worry about it.......

 

I too have had a similar experience with my HAH.

I don't remember the exact dates, but I had my HAH parked for about three weeks. I didn't start driving it until this past Monday. The charge bars were still in the same spot as when I parked it.
