Default Storing my Solara for the winter

I went to Florida for the winter & put my 06 solara in a good garage. I didn't disconect the battery & it sat there for 6 months. In reading the owners manual page 117 down at the very bottom it said to leave the headlite switch on automatic when storing your car for a week or more. Ah Las, the car did start but the battery was very weak. But it did start. I mentioned this in a previous thread & that person said the headlight switch should be put in off position. But in my 06 owners manual it said leave it on automatic? Any input on this? Just fire away. I would have loved to put one of those small battery "TENDERS" on the battery but my garage had no electricity. The battery tender is just the ticket when storing your car for a long time. Keeps the battery as fresh as a daisy and without trickle charging it to death either.
All comments welcome? What does your owners manual say about this headlite switch? Its good to be back in Jersey again. Coal Miner
