Default Winter Storage

Hello Ladys and Gents I will be storing my 99 C5 for the winter months and the garage requires that the battery be removed from the car so my question is this does anyone know of a unit that will take the place of the battery when removed and last 5 months so there will be no loss of key fob and ecm,etc (memory)?? A,C,D cell, 9 volt, batteries are OK.

Thanks in Advance

No Way - even the car's battery would be stressed to last 5-months without a maintenance charger.

Just make sure that you know (or Disable) the OEM Delco radio anti-theft lock code BEFORE removing the battery.
