Default C50 winter care ??

I have a new C50 and enjoy riding it a lot. Spring and summer was good fun.This is the first winter season for the bike. But I guess it changes with the season and would like to know what precautionaty measures need to be taken for the coming winter. I live in an apartment complex in Raleigh/Durham (RTP) area in North Carolina (just moved here). My bike is parked in the open (no covered parking). Snowing is not that hard but I guess I need to be prepared this year. Considering, I might not be able to ride it that frequently during winter, looking for some good tips on winter care - like do I need to park my bike in a rental garage (any economical referrals?) or something, does the battery need to be charged frequently (if yes, what model of battery charger might be required and where can I get it). I do have the MOM with me, but am looking for some experienced rider's healthy tips
