Hello. I have 1984 cadillac deville limousine 4,1L HT4100. I drive this car only about one or two times in week. After every ride I disconnect the battery because after few days when car stay on parking area the battery is unloaded. My question is can I do any general turn off electricity in car like this or do I must disconnect the battery after every ride? Sorry for my english. Thank You.
