Now I'd guess there's no way the battery will last that long.

Why not? After my daughter wrecked one on my Minis I left it in the back
garden for several months. When I came to move it, having finally
decided to break the car, it started up straightaway!

A good modern battery should last a long time if nothing's taking any
significant current from it.
