I am away 3 winter months out of the year. What should I do to keep my Prius 2010 battery in good shape?

Use a battery tender. Fill it up with gas and use a gas stabilizer. Have the oil changed before you park it. Cant' say if there is anything you can do about the hybrid battery, for that ask your Toyota dealer. The best thing would be to have friend drive it for 10 miles every week or two.
What is a battery tender? What is a gas stabilizer? I have a Prius 2010. So I have a hybrid battery. I need more help.
Your local auto parts store can sell you both. The fuel stabilizer is a product you pour in the gas to keep it from ageing. The battery tender is a small battery charger that keeps the starting battery charged up.
I do not think there is anyway to keep the hybrid battery charged up without driving it. If you have plug in hybrid you might be able to leave it on the charger but read your owners manual first!
