If I had to store my car for 3 months

with no electricity available at the storage site I'd:

- Remove the battery from the car
- Leave the front hood ajar so you don't need any electricity to get back in but tape up with blue painters tape the opening (and the side vents, exhaust, etc.)
- Take the battery to a site that had electricity and connect a battery maintainer to it.

At the end of the storage, I'd deliver the battery, reinstall it, remove all the tape and the car and battery ought to be good to go.

Batteries don't like to be stored with no activity for that long. The maintainer will continue minimal activity to keep the battery fresh.

Stabul in the gas tank. Fresh oil. Pull the battery just after the car cools from a long run.
