Hey everyone,
I'm leaving my bmw i3 2015 in a hot garage (95* probably) for one week. Can I just leave it there at full charge unplugged? Will the battery management system take care of battery even unplugged?
(I leave today, and the car is already fully charged.)
 
Yes - it'll be fine. In theory it could be better if you do a few miles for some unnecessary shopping to bring it down a bit, but really not worth worrying about. I often only use my car once a week, and it's stored in a warm garage.
 
Thanks for your thoughts, mojo, very appreciated. ChatGPT was telling me it's better to leave it plugged in, so I just wanted to hear from real-world users. Thanks again.
