[QUOTE="Dwavey, post: 241082, member: 2239"] My 06 sat idle in my garage for about four months and started up fine. I checked the battery on the voltmeter before, during and after starting and didn't see anything abnormal. Makes me doubt the dealer's claim that the immobilizer will flatten the battery - as far as I know the only active drain is the flashing led and that stops after a day or two of inactivity so that it doesn't drain the battery. As for the gel-type battery not taking a charge once it's fully discharged - having had to replace two of them on my FZ6 my personal experience with this type of battery is that it's true. [/QUOTE]
