Storing 21 gle450
I am going for an extended stay, 4 months away. Car will be in indoor garage. Is there any recommended things to do, such as starting and letting car run. How often should I start and for how long each time? Also, is there any other items too consider?

You'll get a "battery partially discharged" notice on your Mercedes Me app 8n a couple of weeks if you don't use a Battery Maintainer. CTEK is a good choice.
Regarding starting the car periodically - Don't!
Unless you bring everything up to operating temps, you'll be doing more harm than good.
Just get a Maintainer (not a "trickle charger") and you're good to go, literally.

Over inflate your tires a bit... when I store a car at one of our vacation homes usually inflate to max on tire... also battery maintainer.

Fill tires to max inflation pressure listed on the sidewall. Top off the fuel, add fuel stabilizer if you like and put the battery on a maintainer.

put moisture adsorbers inside and if possible use a dehumidifier in garage.

Nope. A trickle charger is just a low current, constant voltage charger. It can cook and damage a good battery if left on too long. A good quality battery maintainer will monitor the state of charge on the battery it's connected to and increase, decrease, or stop charging altogether as needed.

Guess not.
I am using this one, a smart charger but they also call it a Trickle Charger..Marketing I guess.
