[Miata] Storing a Car

[Chris Adams]

Just pull the battery and store it inside. Keeping it at a stable temp 
will reduce its' discharge. My original OEM was inside for 5 months and 
didn't have any trouble turning the car over when I re-installed it. A 
slow charge when you get back probably wouldn't hurt, but wouldn't 
trickle charge it that long. Heck, I don't think I would leave anything 
plugged up while I was gone for an extended period.
