Thanks to all for the input. I unfortunately will have to leave it here in the garage, but right now the flood risk looks to be lower now so hopefully all will be well. It's insured, so if it does get damaged I have a good excuse to upgrade to a Gen 2! Thanks especially to hellsop, I'll leave the batteries connected!
Flood preparations?
Hi all,
I live in Savannah, Ga, which finds itself in the projected path of Hurricane Irma. Looks like I'm going have to evacuate for the 2nd time in a year. Unfortunately, I'm going to have to leave my '15 Volt behind while the minivan gets evacuation duty. There's a good chance we'll get flooding in my area, so my question is, what should I do to prepare the Volt to give it the best chance of survival? I'm thinking I should disconnect the 12 volt battery, and pull the main disconnect for the traction battery. Is there anything detrimental in doing this? I'll probably put it up on jackstands, too. Anything else I should do?
