Nowadays, most modern batteries are fully sealed, so the checking of battery acid levels are no longer an issue.

If a battery gets to a low state of charge and the vehicle has a Stop/Start function, this may no longer work.
Certain vehicles will display Low battery voltage warnings on the instrument cluster (dashboard display)
The Time and Date display may default to zero on some vehicles.

Start your vehicle regularly and run every few days.
Run the vehicle outside your property for 10 minutes but always stay within the vehicle whilst the engine is running. Remember that it is illegal to leave a car running un – attended and neither would you want the car stolen as this could affect your insurance.
Remove any gadgets such as phone charges and turn off the heaters / air- conditioning and lights off which could be using essential battery energy.
If you have one, then use a battery charger or battery conditioner to charge back to its full capacity.
