Just wanted to make sure there isn't anything else I should do apart from driving around to charge the battery?

The map system said it would take 1hr 40 mins, which will be about 3 journeys.
you wont fully charge the battery by driving around , You need a charger with a 10A + output and leave it on 48 hours if you possibly can . The battery will get sulphated and the long charge will greatly improve this.

Volvo recommend the battery is charged every 2 weeks in these low use conditions...
