So how long are we looking at here - 2 months, 6 months, or maybe even more? Is there someone who could take charge of starting and driving it every couple of weeks? Regular use is crucial, otherwise, you'll end up with flat-spotted tires that might get ruined beyond repair after sitting for too long.

So, if you disconnect the battery, that prevents any drain, BUT it means you will have to reset everything once you reconnect it. I guess you don't want some extra hassle.
Using a trickle charger is a great way to maintain the battery's charge without the need for disconnection. Just make sure it is a smart charger that can prevent overcharging.

Now, here comes the important part, and @GuestIGuess pointed it out well enough. Are you looking at a storage period of a few months or longer?

A trickle charger is probably your best bet, it keeps the battery topped off and avoids the hassle of resetting electronics when you reconnect the battery later. Look for one with a smart charging feature to prevent overcharging. If you go the battery disconnect route, just make sure to note down any settings you might need to reprogram when you’re back!

Our storage recommendation depends on how long you're away. You’ve probably already returnd by now, so I’d love to hear what storage options you ended up using.
