It's better to avoid letting devices remain unused during the off-season. This can harm batteries and capacitors.

Electronics can generally remain idle for extended periods without significant damage. Components from older stock may retain functionality after years of storage, especially if they haven’t been exposed to extreme conditions. Waiting several months typically won’t harm them, though performance might vary slightly depending on the part and environment.

It depends on how many years,and what kind of capacitors and batteries are in them,and the weather. Capacitors and batteries have chemicals in them that are required for them to work,over time chemical changes happen. It's a slow process that take years,lack of use accelerates the process by letting the electrons escape leaving the capacitors to degrade.. That's why lithium batteries are stored and shipped at around 50% charge,too much charge and too low of a charge degrade them faster. Colder weather slows down the process,while hot weather accelerates it.
