A battery tender not only safeguards against the unexpected but it maintains the battery for longevity. I've had BMW batteries last 14yrs this way and never even once had a non start issue or low voltage/battery warnings pop up.

For the OP who lives in an apt building, I've seen a number of extension cords leading into peoples cars in underground parking garages, there must be an outlet there somewhere...ceiling, support post, etc.
