May get differing opinions, but do not let others' ideas confuse you, as there are many good ways to "store" it.
BTW: I'm afraid of electrical things left plugged in--for unattended periods of time--whether it be battery-maintainers (I've had 2 of these for several years, both still unused as of tonight.), engine block heaters, and the like. Just my opinions, mind you! Luck with your decision(s).

I would still be driving it everyday, and plugging it in a few hours before I need to drive it.
Sorry - a block heater. Im uneducated on the subject because they aren't widely used here in TX. I assumed cars either came with one or not, not that you buy it separately.
