Or arrange to have a good battery charger connected and recharge the battery.

I think my low charge situation I experienced this year was a combination of drives not long enough, running heated seats/steering wheel all the time, and a severe cold snap which meant I was remote starting the car halfway through the day to keep the engine from "freezing up."
I received a free trickle charger with my car, and I never thought I would use it. I rethought that, seems during a cold snap it may be worth throwing it on the trickle charger every few days to make sure there is enough charge. Not much point having a remote starter if the car refuses to remote start at -40C...
