Yeah. That's the idea. You don't want thieves gaining access

Since I don't have one, I need to go buy one. I'm looking for the cheapest possible route; but also one that doesn't send me back to the store again and again.

Let me ask you this; is something like this going to work:
Energizer A23 12-Volt Alkaline Battery (2-Pack)-A23BPZ-2 - The Home Depot

If not, what is my cheapest option for a 12 volt battery that will do the trick?

Thanks guys!!

Probably not.

Your best option is to get a friend or family member over there with another vehicle and just use jumper cables off of their battery.
