Make sure you run them long enough to bring them up to operating temp.
otherwise moisture in the exhaust and crankcase tend to cause sludge and rusting in exhaust systems.
Best to leave them un run unless they can be brought up to operating temp. but do charge the battery with a small 1 amp charger for 1/2 a day or so maybe every month or two.
I have seen short run vehicles ( under say 6-8 miles a day) and the engines are so sludged up it is unbelivable. and the exhaust systems are lucky to last only a few years.
