I am getting ready to put my car up for the winter and hook up the trickle charger.
After reading the directions on the charger it says the battery should be vented. If I close the frunk and cover the car is this going to be an issue? I also added air to the tires, shut the interior light, latched the frunk latch, and added fuel stabilizer. Any additional winter needs I've missed would be greatly appreciated.


TIA

A search would show multiple lists of items to consider when relatively long storage is contemplated

Sounds like you are good to go. Some may add oil change before winter storage but not a deal breaker in any way if you can't get to it before the snow flies.

I have done the exact same thing as you listed above to countless vehicles I have stored over the winter season (Nov to late March up here) and have had zero issues in 18 years.

Thanks for the heads up. I also did change oil and all filters.

Overfill your tires to like 40-50psi to avoid flat spots in the spring.

Change out the tires for winter snow tires and go for a drive every week or so. Keeps the battery full up, heats up and lubricates the internals and is lots of fun!
