Most auto parts stores (e.g., Autozone) sell a little battery powered gizmo that goes in your cigar lighter and provides power to the electrical system so the radio does not lose it's setting. I've never used one, but suggest you check. Of course, there may be clever answers coming about using a trickle charger or float charger attached to the battery cables, but you gotta be real careful not to touch positive to metal.
