Have you considered asking your wife to take responsibility for keeping her car in operating condition?

Yes. I have. As I'm sure you all know, every choice has its costs, trade-offs and consequences. 😉. I'll suggest that and Sebastien's list of choices to her today. That should be enjoyable. 😊 
This isn't a huge deal. I've just been looking for a simple solution, and it is indeed to save me trouble, not so much her. I'm trying throughout our lives to make as much of them as possible "maintenance free." 
This is just one more incremental step that I'd like to work out. It's only happened twice in the last year or so, it's not really what one would call a chronic problem. But in this house, I'm the AAA, and it's far easier to prevent a problem than to solve it. 
As I get older, I find automatic solutions more reliable than my own memory, let alone hers, but I know there are certainly other ways to deal with this one. 
I could use a Google calendar reminder, etc., for sure. But I also like the idea of an actual condition monitor, rather than just a time-based one. And I enjoy learning what is available for things like this as technology progresses. 
I appreciate all your constructive suggestions. I'm sure it will get worked out.
Ron

Have you considered asking your wife to take responsibility for keeping her
car in operating condition? Let her choose between either driving it enough
to keep the battery charged or using an external battery maintainer. Of
course, the possibility exists that she doesn't care enough about whether
her car starts to do anything about it.

Art I was thinking replace the car, the wife, or preferably both but Ron
has probably already considered and dismissed those options.
