Winterise Cyberster

[Cool Grandad]

Does anybody know if I can winterise my Cyberster. Ideally It won’t be in use from October to end of March.

As long as you keep it plugged in, I see no problem.. Not sure if the 12V will be charged when power is off, but in my opinion it should.

Trickle charger?

Trickle charger?

Not sure if that's a good idea on a BEV..

12V should charge okay, but only if NOT plugged in. Manual states:

Intelligent Charging
When the vehicle is powered OFF and the system detects that the 12V battery is running low, the vehicle will automatically charge the 12V battery under certain conditions to ensure the vehicle starts. This function will be automatically turned off upon completion of charging.
Note: The system will suspend intelligent charging if a fault is present when starting or when the vehicle is being charged by an external device.
Note: The driving range will be reduced after intelligent charging.
Note: The intelligent charging function is suspended when the high voltage battery is in a low SOC.

Personally if not being used at all for 5 to 6 months and assuming it's locked in a garage. I'd run it to between 40% to 50%, then disconnect the 12v battery negative. once disconnected, trickle charge the 12v for a few hours to 100%. Pump the tyres up to 50psi too, that will negate any risk of flat spots whilst sitting.
