Looking for some advice if i should disconnect the RX300 battery when going out for 4 weeks.
In the past when i had gone out on vacations without disconnecting the batter i had found my battery always dead and needed a jump start.
So hoping that if i disconnect the battery then it will hold the charge and i can connect it back after 4 months. Trying to figure out with the help of this forum if i should be concerned about anything specific when leaving the battery disconnected.

For extended trips or vacations I've always used a BATTERY TENDER JR. You can get them fairly cheap from AMAZON:

A healthy battery should easily hold a charge for 4 weeks. You might want to get your battery tested. Also, If you are handy with an ammeter, measure the current flow from your battery with everything off. After a few minutes, to allow the computers to go to sleep, the current will drop to about 50-100 mA, just enough to keep the computer memories alive. A trickle charger is also an option, but you shouldn't need one if everything is working properly.

You could disconnect the batery before you leave and it will start without jump. Which I did when I went to vacation for 5 weeks.
