Now I'd guess there's no way the battery will last that long. I could go
round there every couple of weeks and start it I suppose - but what would
happen if we just disconnected/removed the battery? I could keep that
here
and make sure it was charged for his return.
Thoughts, please.



Well the big difference is it will start when you reconnect it.
