I always remove the battery, bring it in the garage and place a battery tender on it.
Careful with this one. Make sure it is some sort of 'smart' charger. I had one of the Harbor Freight "Battery Tenders" cook & kill a battery. Don't go for the cheap charger.

That could be because for this job you should use BATTERY MAINTAINER.
I've been using HF maintainers on my toys for over 20 years.
I think I have about 5 right now in my garage as often could not refuse $4.99 sale.
Sure over the years couple of them malfunction and one time not checking the battery for 4 or 5 months I lost it, but failure happen even on Prevost.
Bottom line, no matter how good charger/maintainer, always keep checking from time to time.
