Running it for 10-mins at idle speed will do more harm than good. Get a battery matainer and hook it up to the battery. Plug in the maintainer and all will be good when you return home

On something this new I'd go with the battery maintainer if you have power at your garage. This way you know the battery will be kept charged. Hope that helps! Jim
