Volvo Hybrid Engines and Lockdown

What are people doing to look after their hybrid cars please. If I leave the car plugged in will the car keep both the main battery and the engine compartment battery topped up?

Cheers

I make sure i drive mine at least once a fortnight. My car stood on a Volvo forecourt from March to June last year and ended up needing a new 12V battery and had other electrical glitches i am convinced arose from lack of use and flat battery. My brother coincidentally bought a used ex demo XC60 which was registered just before lockdown and then unused for a few months. Also had similar electrical problems including need for new 12v battery.....
