If you decide to buy a battery maintainer just hook it up and plug it in. Do not use a trickle or regular battery charger. They charge all the time and may damage the battery by overcharging it. If you will only be away for a week or two, I wouldn't worry about doing anything.

You can get a trickle charger that will shut off itself when fully charged
