As a longtime owner of E-Z-Go golf carts, I'd suggest the following:

DO NOT LEAVE YOUR ELECTRIC CART PLUGGED IN FOR YOUR LONGTIME ABSENCE

1. Fill your batteries with distilled water.
2. Fully charge the batteries
3. After charging, lift the seat and select the "Tow" position from the "Run-Tow" toggle switch.

If you do these things your cart will very likely maintain almost all it's charge and require very little "topping off" when you return. When you do return, toggle the switch back to "Run", then I'd definitely recommend filling the batteries for any water that may have evaporated in your absence.
