2018 AMG G63
HELP please!
I have a 2018 Mercedes-Benz AMG G63. I am going out of town and I want to know how many days I can leave the G63 without starting it. I don't want the battery to die when I come back. I live in a building and I don't have any electrical outlets.
Please help me find a solution.
Thank you

Important question is how many days are u going out of town. I leave mine in a garage all winter at 50 degrees and it will start in the spring. With Floridas warm weather I bet it could go months and be ok. Just buy a portable battery powered mini jump starter if you are worried about it. They are small, light, and work great. Under 150 bucks will get you a good one on Amazon.

Assuming the battery is OE (~4 years old) and you've had no problems with it, that your absence is less than 3 weeks, and temps are not single digits, you should be OK. But batteries are unpredictable - there are no guarantees beyond its warranty (which won't start the truck at 2 a.m. in a cold dark car park).

Typically yes! You don't have to get this one, but you can get this or something like it after deciding how many amps and other features you want. I have seen tests on smaller units cranking over Diesel engines. They work!

Having a unit such as this connected as a backup to your main battery is not a bad idea if you're gone for a month. Make sure you connect it directly to the battery, the jump terminals or some accessory socket that stays live when the ignition is switched off.
On the other hand, you could offer your G to some forum member who would faithfully drive it every day during your absence to keep the battery charged (lol). (PM me if interested.)

I love the way devices like this are spec'd -- 32,000 milliamp-hours!!! Yes! That's right! Thirty-two THOUSAND!!! Count them! That's almost 32 MILLION microamp-hours! Well OK - that's the same as 32 amp hours, which brings matters somewhat back to a meaningful reality.
