Salaam
My aqua is very often used. Question is, should i start my car after 10 or 12 days or not.
to recharge batteries.
JazakAllah

You mean it's rarely used?

Try to take it out atleast once a week to keep the battery's charge up. If the less use is due to it being a second or third car that you use less often then you should also consider selling it as staying in the garage and hardly being used will just cost you money in terms of depreciation.

Battery’s charge depletes if not used for long. Very difficult to bring the charge up then and it normally damages battery health. Drive your car a bit every 4-5 days to keep the hybrid battery in good health

Wa Alaikum Salam. Bro, try to drive at least for once in preferably 4-5 days, otherwise the batteries will get drained.
In case of simple non-hybrid vehicles, drainage of battery may be not a big issue. They can be recharged, or at worse, replaced with a new one. But, such batteries are not that expensive.
However, in case of hybrid vehicles, batteries are much expensive and complex. One can't afford to get them malfunctioned in any way.

So all guys are suggesting to drive once a week to keep hybrid battery charged properly.
May I ask one question from expert. When we get aqua or other hybrid cars after auction..it takes 3 to 6 months and no one is driving them once a week to keep battery healthy...second Li ion battery keep charge maintain even after 6 months if not recharged their is what literature says I guess...so driving hybrid car once in a week is use less option I think

Brother I am not an expert, but I would like to add a few things:

When hybrid vehicles are brought here after auctions, it definitely takes 3-6 for them months to reach here, but I will consider this as an exception that they had not been driven for 3-6 months.
This is not a usual practice and can never be a usual practice that if a hybrid car is not driven for 3-6 months, then no problem. Batteries kuch cycles takk to 3-6 months without charging ki beating ley lein gee, but in the long term and long run, I think this practice will shorten batteries life. Yahan, 3-6 months ka gap aa jata hai, otherwise, in the countries where these are manufactured and sold, this is not the case.

second Li ion battery keep charge maintain even after 6 months if not recharged their is what literature says

Brother if you could kindly share the source / link of this information or some document, I would be highly thankful to you (No offense and I do not mean to be rude).

Thank you.
