If you can put a trickle charger on the car, the battery will be both warm and fully charged in the morning. Cold batteries don't provide as many "cold cranking amps" as warm ones. If you can't run a cord to the car, how about a second battery that lives inside where it's warm, hooked up to a trickle charger. Carry it out to the car (or put it on a cart), jump the car's battery, and you have lots of starting power.
