A good solution for this problem for cars that must live outside is a solar
charger that plugs into the cigarette lighter. If the car lives in a nice warm
garage, a small 12 volt wallmount transformer plugged into the cigarette lighter
is a good option. Either will put a small amount of current into the system to
run all of that stuff we forget is always on and keep the battery topped off at
the same time.
