I had been away for 2 months and 2 out of 3 cars were fine. I would recommend getting a trickle charger if the battery is old.

  Go to AutoZone or whatever auto parts store. They will test battery and alternator for free. Don't regret CPO. Battery failures happen and thats why they arent covered.

Depending on how long you're gone you may also want to put the car on jack stands so you don't get flat spots on your tires

  A matt will also help with this and works well for motorcycles in the winter.

  I though that wasn’t necessary with modern tires? Unless you’re storing for years maybe?

I have a solar panel hooked up via lighter port (which is always on) and it trickle charges the battery just fine. You will have to leave it in an area where it gets some sun.

  Leaving your car outside for weeks unattended to charge via solar seems like a much worse idea than inside with a charger plugged in

  Off course, if you have access to an electrical outlet in your garage just buy a trickle charger. I have a covered parking with no electrical outlet so went with solar panels.

Guys, your cars eat up power while sitting idle, computer(s), alarm, stereo, etc all eat up power when the car is turned off. Some cars will only last a few weeks before the battery dies. Go to any auto parts store or Amazon and buy a battery minder:

If the battery is less than 3 year old it should be ok for even a month without driving. If you have a garage , you can get electric charger which you can hook to your battery
