Car Idle for 10 days.

I'm planning to go on a trip by air and be gone for 10 days. Should I be worried about coming back to find car's battery dead, which was recently tested and found to be "fine." I'm also worried about airmatic getting low on air?

You don't trust you car, however if all your systems are without faults your battery will be just fine----but then if your airmatic has a leak-the degree of leak will determine if the compressor will drain the battery.

If you don't trust your car then disconnect the battery!!

Have a safe trip

This could possibly be a car test and check if airmatic has a leak! I don't think it does, as I've driven care nearly everyday, so a 10-day of no operation would be a fair test to that system. Good point Plutoe!
