Sitting doesn't seem to do the batteries harm, if they're "woken" properly. A balancing grid charge before doing much driving should be adequate.

I can think of one example of a time capsule Insight, an ~18 year (?) garage find with the original battery. After grid charging and balancing, it behaved like a brand new battery.
