I second this. And the LED on the factory radio, which can be disabled. I've been dealing with battery discharging every winter as I do not drive my car in the winter at all, and with no place to charge it. I've had to resort to starting it up every few days and driving it up and down the underground parking garage to ensure the battery is maintained.

Make sure that you are letting the car get to full operating temperature before shutting it off or else you risk internal corrosion and engine damage over the long term. It might be better to remove the battery and charge it occasionally over the winter.
