Hybrid vehicles sitting for a long time?

Hey, all. I'm doing some research for a potential new vehicle purchase. I've been looking into hybrids for the obvious benefits.

One issue I just realized is that the car will almost certainly wind up sitting for several months at a time, unused. I know that can be very hard for the 12V battery in a traditional gas-only vehicle, but I was wondering if it would cause any issues with a hybrid's traction battery? We probably won't be able to put a battery maintainer on it, either.

Thanks!
