Thanks for the comments and advice.

The car is currently in a storage unit that is about three feet wider than the car. The front is facing in, so jump starting it will require pushing the car out. I think I will remove the battery, charge it and have it tested. If it checks out OK, I'll put it on a battery maintainer at my house for the balance of the construction period.

If I buy a new battery, it definitely won't be from the dealer.

This just reinforces my belief that the car should be driven frequently.
