We generally only use the car at weekends, and sometimes miss one or 2. We do find if we dont start the car regularly then it does report that the battery is low, and this can take a long run (over 30mins and sometimes even longer) to get get sorted.
Dont believe those who say running it for 5mins fully recharge the battery it does not and regular short runs will reduce the battery capacity.
