Yes, something like the Battery Tender Jr would work (it's a great unit).

Keep in mind, with the LVC, you wouldn't return to a dead car, even if you left the car with the alarm on for a month, it would still start. What the LVC would do is turn off the battery before it's fully drained, leaving enough to still start the car a few times. This also prevents overdischarge, which will damage/ruin batteries (lead-acid batteries especially shouldn't be discharged below 9V).
