I own the Honda Accord 2019 model. I'll be traveling for a month, and won't be using the car. The car batteries may go dead because of this.

I read that I can use a trickle charger for such a situation. But the problem is that I live in an apartment complex, and I won't have access to an AC source to plug the trickle charger into. And as I park the car outside, I don't want to keep my hood open as well, assuming I have an AC power source.

So is there any other way I can ensure that my batteries don't go dead?

  • Can you take the battery off the car and keep it inside, occasionally trickle charging it?

  • @HandyHowie thank you for the suggestion. But from the looks of it, this model is heavily reliant on the battery I believe. If removing the battery, then it may mess with the other stuff in the car?

I've had great results with the brand known as Battery Tender, primarily because they are not trickle chargers, which "push" electricity into a battery regardless of state of charge. Battery Tender makes maintainers, smart devices which regulate the level of power being applied.

I was pleased to discover, for your purposes that you can get a Battery Tender solar maintainer! Amazon is one source for such a product and any good search should result in other options. Watch out that you don't get a trickle charger, but you'll find other brands available.
