Car in garage for winter & not being used but run every few days. Battery died when it
went a week without start. Had it jumped & was driven for a week. Then it was left for four
days without start & the battery dead again.  What will happen to electronics if I leave the
car like this for another 1 1/2 months till I get home from FL

No one there to remove battery. Can I just leave it that way & have it jumped when I get home. If so, will the electronics be ok??

Tennisshoes Thank you for your help. Tom about a year ago I had the car jumped. When AAA showed up I asked him if we could put a kill switch on the battery. We use that on our Accura that we leave in Fl for 6months & it works great. He told me that I couldn't use one on a car like my Lexus because "all the settings of the electronics would be gone. " & the car would never be the same. Sounds like you disagree with this.Thanks for the link. Will check it out.
