His battery https://www.sears.com/diehard-platinum-marine-battery-group-size-31m-price/p-02850131000P?prdNo=2&blockNo=2&blockType=G2 Sears PM-1 is a 12VDC PbSO4 agm (group31 deep-cycle). 13 of them makes a 156VDC pack. I'll assume the EV also has a 12VDC aux battery. So, he likely has 14 12Vdc batteries that need to be on a 'float' charge (as Lee mentioned). Here are some image links of his agm pack off his web site: http://www.electricdelorean.com/plogger/thumbs/lrg-48-e_fluxed_showing_off_her_rear.jpg http://www.electricdelorean.com/plogger/thumbs/lrg-40-rear_battery_pack_and_electronics.jpg http://www.electricdelorean.com/plogger/thumbs/lrg-53-front_battery_pack_wired_up.jpg -If the vehicle storage facility does not let you plug into a nearby 120VAC 15A L1 outlet , then Cor's 2nd idea of having the EV driven out to be charged (?once every two weeks?) by someone you trust , is a sound idea. -If your EV can be parked near, so as to be plugged into a L1 outlet, then I'd consider using 14 small 12VDC float chargers https://www.ebay.com/itm/Car-Auto-Truck-Motorcycle-12V-Smart-Compact-Battery-Charger-Tender-Maintainer-RF/172382184643 (14 x 12v x 1.2a x 2= 403Watts) Assuming 50% efficiency, only 400Watts would be consumed when charging, else float would be nil. If his on board chargers can run off a L1, then Cor' 1st idea is sound too. Here's an inexpensive 120VAC (pool) timer https://www.ebay.com/p/Woods-Timer-24-Hr-2-Button-Black/19025712032 Good luck, please let us know how it works out.
