I've never had to store a car for an extended period of time in the winter but I know that generally you want to make sure of a few things:

1. Check tire pressure (to prevent flat spots from developing)
2. Check fluid levels and top up if necessary (including oil, antifreeze, etc)
3. Top up fuel tank completely and add fuel stabilizer

Don't remember anything else off the top of my head. Our cars come with lithium-ion batteries and I've heard that they are relatively stable when stored at low temperatures but 2 months is kind of a long time to go IMO without using a trickle charger. If you do decide to use a trickle charger make sure it's the correct one from CTEK that is meant for lithium-ion batteries otherwise you'll end up damaging it.
