I can't tell you how long the battery will last - maybe someone here can tell us the milli-amp draw of the system when it is armed.
If you don't mind parking outdoors, or at least right next to a parking garage window, you can install an inexpensive solar battery charger on the dash. They plug into the 12 volt outlet and supply a trickle charge to keep the battery fully topped up. The problem with your 9-5 is that the factory outlet is switched - it goes off with the ignition. So you would have to wire in an additional outlet (or modify the factory one) so that it was hot all the time. This is what I would do in your situation.
