If you suspect a non essential system like an alarm, or power door locks, disconnect it-them.

I ran an 8 track for 5 days on a separate car battery before it had to be recharged. Didn't have time to install it so I stuck the stuff and battery in the back seat and floor, but the surf board racks were brazed to the drip rails to keep them from being stolen.

This is what I have been doing. It's just annoying having to unplug the battery every time I want to take it out for a spin.
