You could take the battery out and put it on a tender outside of the car, but that will then piss off all of the systems in the car since they lose power. They should mostly (if not fully?) figure that out when you hook it back up to the car though.

The concern about attaching the tender directly to the battery is only a concern if the battery is still in the car. You don't want to do that because it can damage the car's charge monitoring stuff (in theory, although I don't know if anyone's actually done that).
