Just need to buy a $20 battery tender (trickle float charger) and keep it hooked up to the quad if you are going to store it for more than 2 weeks w/o riding it.

It uses very little electricity, just keeps the battery charged up. They will naturally drain as time passes.

You can even buy them at WalMart.
