2014 Mustang Battery Drainage

I was thinking about using one of the better solar battery maintenance chargers (Pulse Tech) for my infrequently used 2014 Mustang.

Does anyone have any experience with these type of chargers?

Does anyone know the typical drainage (losses) from a parked 2014 Mustang, so that you can calculate the recharging requirements?

I do plan to start/use the vehicle about every two weeks or so during warmer weather, but it may sit unused during the winter for as long as 1 month at a time...

Thanks.

I'm old school my friend. I would buy a good trickle charger, and not worry about solar anything. IMHO.

I'm guessing you meant the car is inside, so you'll mount the solar bit outside and run a wire in.

That's very green of ya, and they do work. BUT, the difference between using that and using a regular trickle charger is negligible on eventual cost, and maybe it'd be a wash at best.
