That is a long time to go unused especially if it was hooked up in the car, but just put it on a long slow charge and it could very well be fine.

Could you use another separate cheaper relay for the NSS. That's what I did. I wired it to the ignition circuit. That was 17 years ago, so I don't recall the how of it
FWIW
those Ford-type relays are available with an isolated ground.

Yes they do, I forgot about that.
