Todd, you're right, I forget you are inside a closed building, so the next best thing would be to take them home and keep them in the garage on a battery minder, or tender, or whatever they are called. The big thing is to be able to start the generator when you go to take it out of storage in the spring so you can heat up the engine block before starting. An alternative to running the generator would be to, at that time, find an outlet you could run a long extension cord from to run the block heater.....ours draws about 9-10 amps so you, at a minimum would probably need at least a 20 amp outlet to account for the drop in amps over a long extension cord run....it might work on 15 amps if your run is less than 100 feet, and you have a heavy duty extension cord.
