I use battery maintainers for vehicles that hibernate during the winter.

Hook it up to a battery maintainer.

IMHO, the best way to "store" a battery is to actually drive the car.

But that is neither here nor there. So the next best option is a battery maintainer.

Lastly, if you don't have access to plugs, then just remove the battery terminal and/or disconnect.  If it is just once for storage, maybe just remove the terminal. If you need to do it repeatedly consistently, then get a disconnect. However, this option isn't the best option, because the battery will still drain. At least it will drain less.
