I have a trickle charger that I plug in every night to maintain the battery. I ate up 2 batteries in 2 years before it. With the charger the next battery lasted 3 years. I'm in Texas so the heat is hard on them as well.
That's what I was going to do. I bought a harbor freight on board 1.5amp maintainer for $15 last year. Hooked it up to my crv for the winter, as I only drive that once a few weeks. WORKED FLAWLESSLY. Middle of winter after not driving it for a month, freezing cold, the car fired right up.

Anyways, i bought another one and am going to hook it up to my econobox as well.

I'll post pics shortly.
