For any storage period longer than 2 weeks, use a battery tender or maintainer. Dead batteries can cause computer resets, alarm issues, and expensive replacements.
Store vehicles with a full fuel tank and fuel stabilizer to prevent condensation and fuel degradation. This is especially important for seasonal marinas, dry dock, indoor, and outdoor boat storage lasting 3+ months.
