However, what can be done about it?
Is it possible to update/amend the software?
Dealer is saying not possible.
Yes you can change the software if you are the original software development company, and can push it through all the test and validation and release channels.

Realistically, that's not going to happen.

I also drive infrequently and have one of these to monitor my XC90 battery:

And one of these to charge it up overnight once a month or so:

That way I keep my battery in top condition and I know when I should charge it or not.
