Default Trickle Charger for Condo Garage?

Hi All,

Is there such a thing as a trickle charger that doesn't need to be plugged in to a wall socket? I live downtown and walk everywhere or am on a plane for work, so my car is (sadly) hardly ever used (The last time I touched it was back in November). While I do have a garage, my condo building doesn't have available outlets or direct sunlight. I'd like to avoid having to put in a kill switch if at all possible. Does anyone know of a product that runs on battery or of any other options?

Thanks in advance.

prob could get 2 batteries and trade them out (charging one in your apt). seems like a pain though. I know people who do that with motocycles. I also know people who just pull thier motorcycle battery completely for winter.

Ideally I'd like to avoid that if at all possible. If only to retain my radio stations.

Does your Condo garage have an electric garage door opener? if so add a socket for your charger.

This is what I'd do, but it's probably against your Association's Rules.
