It sits the whole time, I used to just disconnect the battery but last 2 years, but using a trickle charger. Oil change as soon as I take her out.
Trickle chargers can be dangerous. Since it doesn't shut down, you can overcharge the battery and boil off the electrolyte. A float charger or battery maintainer like a Battery Tender monitors the charge state and shuts down when charged. You can leave it on all winter without fear of damaging the battery.
