it should keep a charge for one month,  but it would be good to have a pig tail wire on the battery hanging out the bottom, so you can hook up a floating charger, for any reason, at any time,.

Sounds about right.
I left mine all of June and it started under protest, lol. I did as de dee suggests and had a pigtail run. Had mine run up into the underseat.

More importantly is the fuel. Drain the tank, and run the engine till there is nothing left.
Bad gas is the number one killer of all engines.
