In weather like this a battery has a harder time taking in a recharge after it discharges.
I suggest a Battery Tender:

its not a trickle charger, its a battery conditioner - which is smarter than a trickle charger that can damage your battery and do it more harm than good.

Yesterday I had a flat tire on the interstate.
So I eased my car over to the shoulder of the road,
carefully got out of the car and opened the trunk.
I took out 2 cardboard men, unfolded them and stood them at
the rear of my car facing oncoming traffic. They look so lifelike
you wouldn't believe! They are in trench coats, exposing their nude
bodies and private parts to the approaching drivers.
I started to change my tire, and to my surprise, cars started slowing
down looking at my lifelike men. And of course, traffic started backing
up. Everybody was tooting their horns and waving like
crazy. It wasn't long before a state trooper pulled up behind me.
He got out of his car and started walking towards me. I
could tell he was not a happy camper!
"What's going on here?"
"My car has a flat tire," I said calmly.
"Well, what the hell are those obscene cardboard men
doing here by the road?"
I couldn't believe that he didn't know. So I told him,
...
...
...
"Hello-o-o-o-o-o, those are my emergency flashers!"

Since I have at least one too many cars I have had a constant problem with batteries. I had one battery replaced and it started dying after just 8 months. I hooked up a desulfator and while it took a while it has worked wonders on "rejuvenating" the battery!
Check it out, especially if you have more than one battery that needs help.

The Battery Tender will analyze a battery and if < 11 volts it will not charge the battery.
