My 110 Td5 has been parked in storage since December 23rd 2016. I have no access to it (it's in Uruguay, I'm in Germany). The man taking care of it (and various other vehicles) starts it up and idles it for about 20 minutes and may drive it for a very short distance (he cannot take it on public roads due to the insurance).
He mentioned something about taking out the main battery in order to charge it periodically but I don't know if he should do this, if this is a good idea. I said I'd let him know. I'm worried about the electrics, about messing up in that respect.
My vehicle will be there until August 2017. What is the best way of caring for the battery? We can't get into the business of solar charging, I think, since he doesn't have one of these and I don't think I can expect him to look for one on my behalf.
The engine battery was new last December. How can it best be kept in the best possible condition for the next six months?
