OP, most Summer's we leave anywhere from two to four months. A good home watch company is the best way to go. They will take your cart for a drive every two weeks and recharge it. You might have a neighbor or friend who you could hire to do the same and check your house weekly. Personally, I always think it's a "bit much" to ask a friend to do it and will not let him/her do it unless I paid them. But that is just me.

Anyway, a house watch (by some reliable person) is a necessity IMHO. Heat, I'm told is worse than cold on batteries. I had a battery operated cart for about three years and switched to gas for several reasons----but to each his own.
