Do NOT let it idle 5 or 10 minutes during storage. Heat it up completely by driving it or don't start it at all. An inexpensive battery tender will take care of the charge. Starting a car and running it for just a few minutes will kill a battery faster than just leaving it alone since the power required to start it is greater than the charge it will produce at idle.

Tcoat: You right, PKB is a drum, but supposed if is leaving on for a long period of time (assuming you don't move the car for weeks-months) can leave a mark on the drum of PKB.
And yes, when I can't take my car for spin, I warm up my car in a driveway for maybe around 20 mins. I try to do this weekly the whole winter, unless have a terrible weather in a row for the full week, then wait for the next week. So far, zero issues with my car. No battery issues at all. One thing that I forgot to mention was that I leave a little open in one of the windows, like 5 mm down since is inside of my garage, supposed to keep humidity away.
