Does leaving a chassis sit for awhile without running the vehicle hurt the batteries?
Yes. It is imperative that vehicles do not sit for over a week without running the motor or driving the vehicle. Vehicle overhead loads that exist on the chassis, even when the vehicle is not running, will deplete the battery beyond damage level. It is important the the battery or batteries be put on a trickle charger if the vehicle will not be run for extended periods of time.
