I'm guessing he drives it every few weeks. Probably more, but not very far. A trickle charger would be good here.
We got a new battery the summer of 2016, but it has randomly died sitting in the driveway at home. There must be a small draw that drains it every so often
He parks in the garage, so no solar power devices.

Second, why not a solar battery maintainer? Better than running a cord all the time, save that for when you really need the charger.
