Don't forget about battery self discharge. Even unplugged they will lose charge. It all depends on the average temperature. Here in Minn over the winter, we can go easily the entire winter, and still be at 90% of charge. If the avg temp in Arizona when you are gone is 105, then you maybe have about 4 mos. before they hit the 50% mark. Now 50% is the recommended lowest they should go for longest life, but you can go more. Just plan on putting them on a charger when you get back. Or move them indoors, where at 70, they can go almost 15 months before getting to 50%.
