Should have done that on your 20 mile trip!

Make sure you start your engine every now and then, or go for a short drive to recharge. If your car battery isn't brand spanking new then even a mild discharge will shorten its lifetime. I speak from experience: I killed mine by plugging in a laptop for about 4 hours, two weeks later it wouldn't even hold a charge overnight, even after a decent drive the previous day.
