Living in Northern lower Michigan. I’ll be away from the Yarbo for 4.5 months. Do I leave the unit on the charging station or do I remove the battery and store it indoors w/o being able to recharge it? Do I cover the unit while gone or leave it exposed to the elements?

Thanks for your input!

I would pull the battery and store the unit locked indoors so it’s less likely to get stolen since being off it won’t have geofencing capability.

Hi there,

You may consider storing the unit indoors while you’re away. Do you have anyone who could charge the battery once during that time? It’s best to recharge the battery about once every three months to help maintain its health if you won’t be using it for a while.
