Starter battery disconnect for storage

[barefootskipper]

Hi all — I’m looking to disconnect the starter battery on my VW T6.1 while it’s in extended storage.


The last time I tried, the alarm kept sounding when I disconnected the battery. It seems the alarm system has a backup battery/siren that triggers if the starter battery is removed while the van is locked.


Does anyone know the correct procedure for disconnecting the starter battery without setting the alarm off?


Cheers,
Kieran

I assume leaving the battery in on a trickle charger (or solar charger) is not ideal? That would be my preference.

This is an earlier thread on the disconnect procedure.......

No abuse please.

Want to lock van, then disconnect battery as away for month.

Is the immobiliser still operating when battery disconnected?

I assume it will remain locked at least.

I don't want to leave it on trickle charge.

Appreciate your replies in advance. Thanks.Bluey.
