Battery Storage
Whenever the vehicle is not used for a period of three months or more,
remove the battery from the vehicle, ensure that it's fully charged, and
store it out of the sun in a cool, dry place. Check battery voltage each
month during storage and recharge as needed to maintain a full charge.

discharge. Battery Tender

can be left connected during the storage
period, and will automatically charge the battery if the voltage drops below a
pre-determined point.
