extension cords are helpful if there are outlets available.....in my case, there are none. I was thinking of driving it around the block once a week, unless there is another option

I have the same problem. I don't have outlets at all. Not even an extension cord will be helpful. I guess I will ask someone to drive it once per week too (although I don't really like the idea) but its the only available solution for me!!!

One of the instructors at the local PCA club said to just disconnect the battery and keep it somewhere warm in the house. Then top up the charge when it's time to put it back in. This is my first year trying, so we'll see how it goes after the winter.

Why not take the battery inside, and then use a battery tender on it? For my car, to alleviate the worry of a dead battery and no way to access frunk, I copied another 6speeder by attaching the battery tender connection terminals and leaving the plug at the base of the wipers. The plug has a weather proof cover to it. Also, there is an emergency entry method into the frunk. Someone here brought up that under one of the front wheel wells there is a pull cable of some sort for ER access. Anyway, due to the condo and no electrical access, just remove battery. Even if an extension cord could be taken to it, I'd wait to run it there until I'm back in town, and charge it then.
