If your batteries are in good shape and you have not had any problems with them such as having to get a jump, or any battery messages in your display, I would go on vacation, enjoy yourself and have fun. They should be just fine when you return.

Just one week? Don't worry about your car's batteries. They'll be fine. Enjoy your vacation.

I leave my car for a week to 10 days every month when I go to NY... It starts right up when I come home to Florida.

Just left mine parked for 6 weeks while I recovered from surgery and guess what it started as if I had shut it off an hour ago!
