Do I need to use a battery conditioner on a nearly new car?

We will not be using our car for about two and a half months in the autumn. Do you think that we need to fit a battery conditioner whilst we are away? The car, a Cupra Formentor V2 1.9 bhp was new at the end of May this year and is kept in a locked garage. I have used this conditioner many times before but on older cars.

We can't say for sure if a battery conditioner is essential for 2.5 months, but on a new car with systems such the alarm and other security features drawing a small amount of power it may be worthwhile. It certainly won't do any harm, and will help prevent battery deterioration.
