A new battery can often get by without a tender. Not so much one that is on it's last leg.
If it were me, I'd get a tender (so RAM doesn't get erased if the battery fails) and wait until Spring to get a new battery.
Of course, the ECM will recover from a total power loss and resetting the windows is very easy, so keeping it on a tender is not a big deal if you are going to replace the battery anyway. I'd definitely put the new battery on a tender next year, especially if you don't start and warm up frequently.
