i live on top of a step hill and when i leave my home and the battery is fully charged the engine is starting. i turned on the climate control (A/C in the summer or heating in the winter) to discharge the battery but when the weather is nice this is not working. why is the engine starting, will it overcharge the battery and damage it and what i can do to avoid this?

Thank you

Very common and much discussed. Not much you can do about it. Drive about 5 min and it will shut off. Be glad you have nice weather!
