Winter Storage - battery removed
#16
Instructor
I have been storing my 991.1 for the past 5 winters with the battery removed.( No electrical outlet in storage unit) . No issues when reconnecting, just have to reset the end points of the windows. My 2013 Owners Manual has a section with instructions of what has to be done after a battery reconnect. As per the instructions I rotate the steering wheel back and forth but never had to reset sunroof or TPMS even though it mentions those items in manual. I do make sure my battery is fully charged before reinstalling in the spring.

My owner’s manual describes things similar, but seemed to imply short-term power loss. (ie battery replacement)
What didn’t seem clear was if this was different for a long-term power-down.
Thanks!

No idea what that means but I love living in Florida as well. Granted the roads are not like the ones in S. MD and N. VA, where I lived 13 years ago, but being able to walk out the door and be on the beach in less than a minute makes up for it. And once you get inland there are some nice back roads to open it up.
