[DML] Battery questions

["John Slupski" <slupa@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Stored my D for the winter and have been starting it every week or 
so 
but the battery seems to have died today, which is bad news for a 
few 
reasons - most notably that my Lojack is now dead.  When it first 
failed to start a few days ago, I charged it up with a portable 
charger and it started up. I ran it for a while but when I went back 
to start it a 
day or two later, the battery seems completely dead - just the 
solenoid click and a flickering of the dome light.  This time I 
couldn't even jump start it.
 
My questions:
 
- What are some recommendations on a replacement battery that might 
hold up better to a harsh New England winter in storage?  I don't 
have 
room in my garage for it so it's stored in a non-climate controlled 
storage unit.
 
- The storage unit does not permit any electrical outlet so trickle 
charger is not an option.  Is there anything I can do before putting 
it into storage to prevent this from happening again?  I don't want 
to go through this every year.

Thanks.
