We now have three threads from owners whose 451 EDs have been bricked after long term (more than 3 months) storage. We really need to get to the bottom of this issue. This is a call for reports from those who have successfully, or unsuccessfully, stored their ED for a month or more. Please describe in detail the conditions the car was stored in, such as:
State of charge when put in storage or whether it was kept plugged in for charging during the storage period
Range of temperatures during the storage period.
Whether any decline in the indicated state of charge was noticed during the storage period
The condition of the 12 volt accessory battery at the end of the storage period.
Whether the 12 volt battery was placed on a trickle(maintenance) charger during storage.
Any other useful information.
Thanks in advance!
