How long do I need to run my car to keep the battery charged if I'm quarantined because of Coronavirus?
I am about to be quarantined for three months. I propose to run my car weekly. How long do I need to run it to keep the battery charged? Anything else I need to do?

On the motorway, it'll take 20-30 minutes to charge the battery. In a town or city, you'll need to double that timeframe. It may be better to fit a battery charger, while your vehicle is off the road.
