D4 Battery life when on holiday
Hi, I have a Discovery 4 2016 and will be going away for a 4 week holiday and leaving the Disco laid up, should I think about a battery conditioner that can be left connected or will the battery support the vehicle systems for 4 weeks ?? Many thanks.

4 weeks shouldn't be an issue. Longest I left my D3 for was 10 weeks and she started fine.
If you are leaving it "laid up" in a secure location you might consider, for peace of mind, disconnecting both batteries.
Either way it would be sensible to ensure that they are fully charged before you leave.
