I wouldn't even worry about it for a few months. I've had to store my 9k for various periods of time with various levels of preparation and haven't had an issue yet. In another situation I have had gas go bad over about a year (without stabilizer) but just to the extent that the car ran poorly and filling up the tank solved it. I would be shocked if you didn't have a drained battery though. If you really need a solution without opening the hood, you can trickle charge it through the cabin wiring (if the cig lighter isn't hot when the car is off, you'll have to bodge a solution, so i guess it would depend on how stuck that hood is).
