Battery Loss for extended parking

I will need to park for a week at an airport. Will I lose any bars during that time? Weather should be moderate.

The loss over a week is barely detectable. Don't worry about it.

Agreed. Optimally you should leave it at around 50% SOC or a bit below, but it isn't a huge deal as long as it isn't over 80%. 50% corresponds to about 4 fuel bars.

I just had my 13MY parked at the airport for a week. It had ten bars when I parked and when I returned. I had forgot to turn off the climate control timer , but no worries, the 13MY disables the timer when the car is unplugged.

I'm pretty sure all models do. I know my '11 does too.

No problem. Everything would be fine.
