Disconnecting battery

[Oldfossil1]

Is it necessary to disconnect the battery if the van isn't regularly used during the week?

The previous owner did this.

Only if the lights won't turn off, I bet he unplugged his fridge when he went on holiday also..

Under normal circumstances I would say no....but if you have any high draw non factory options fitted you'll be recharging the battery every time you want to use the van.

measure the voltage of the battery after it has been sitting for a day. anything under 12.2v means the battery is basically gone and should be replaced. and new fresh battery should measure 12.7~12.8v
