Smart charger for Yaris Cross 12v battery

[Welbeck]

Could anyone please recommend a good suitable and safe reasonably priced smart charger for our 23 plate Yaris Cross. Do I need to go to my local Toyota dealer to get this? 
I need to keep the Battery topped up and charged as we don’t do many miles each week.

Thank-you in advance for any recommendations.

Aldi or Lidl middle of the shelf. 
Or nocco or ctek from Amazon. 
Pretty much all smart chargers are ok.

Most seem to recommend CTEK or NOCO equipment.

Probably the cheapest of these is the NOCO GENIUS2DUK which can be had for about £38.

The CTEK MXS 5.0 which is a bit more upmarket is currently on a black Friday deal at £62.

I bought this back in 2020 when our cars were getting a much reduced usage.

It was recommended by our Skoda dealer (it was for the wifes Fabia mainly) they wanted over £50 for one, think I paid about £23 at the time.

It works fine, not had an issue.

Used it on the Fabia (enhanced flood type), the standard type of Battery in my "classic (its a Yuasa 5000 type) and on the Yaris a couple of times when we got it in March this year.

Fully automatic, it tells you when its full (but they spell full FUL - a bit worrying!!!).

Various modes but for a 12 volt car Battery it seems to default to 4 amp.

Does the job.

I use an Optimate 4 charger, they are designed to be left on. They are not the cheapest...but I would worry about using the cheaper chargers available.

You could just put the car in Ready mode (or remote start it if yours has that capability) for 20 minutes once a week and let it charge itself.

Or just hoon it around some of those Essex A-roads on the weekend
