Do you have access to a 140 volt battery charger????

There is no safe or sane way to charge your battery other than with the car itself. Before you store it start car, warm to operating temp, in park rev the engine to 3000 rpms until battery shows a full state of charge and then you should be fine. As long as the 12 volt battery is good and you don't leave on any lights a month shouldn't bother the car. If you are really worried about it pull the "backup" fuse from the underhood fuse box so that there are no extra draws on the battery.
