Hey Scotty is it a good idea to remove the red battery terminal if your bot gonna use your car for a long time in order to save the battery? And can you do the same on a hybrid car? I drive a 2020 toyota rav4 hybrid.
I would really suggest you don’t mess around with a hybrid vehicle if you aren’t trained on how to work on them.
The red terminal is the positive terminal, and you should ideally be disconnecting the negative terminal for long term storage.
However, if you know what you’re doing, invest in a battery trickle charger such as this -
Hybrids have two batteries. The regular 12 Volt battery found in most vehicles. And the hybrid battery.
I haven't done any research on storying a hybrid car. But if the logic of removing both terminals on the regular 12 volt battery is accurate, it would make sense to remove the ORANGE disconnect "key" on the hybrid battery itself.
(Word of warning, when something like wires or disconnects are ORANGE in a car, it means there is super high voltage going through those wires. Tread with caution.)
Personally, I would probably fill the battery up as much as possible, so it will slowly drain while sitting. Some recommend halfway charged on batteries, I really don't know which is more effective. Just don't store a dead battery, that would be horrible.
But please, please, do your research. This is just speculation based on what I know about batteries in general.
