But, we have used it on a few long journeys and the battery message was still popping up.

I have decided to keep an eye on it, and replace the battery if it starts playing up.
Volo issued a bulletin to it's dealers say that in these conditions of limited use the battery must be charged every 2 weeks ...

You need to try and recover yours , it will need a proper old fashioned non computer 10A battery charger that will not switch off . Leave it on for at least 48 HOURS .... This will reverse some of the sulphation which has occurred ....
