Your short drives will NOT allow the battery to come up to full charge ever. A trickle charger will resolve the issue and allow the battery to have a LONG full life if used frequently. Recommendation would be weekly if you can not do daily.
Also be aware that the engine will never reach operational temps, so frequent oil changes (when engine is HOT) will allow some of the condensation to be removed. However, the build up of condensation in even colder temps will be an issue to keep in mind. See Oil separator issues all over the forum. The 4.4 are on the back of the intake, PITA.
