Long Term Battery Charger and Maintenance for a 2015 Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution X

Question:

Hi, I have bought a brand new zero Ks 2015 Mitsubishi Evo X and I plan on driving it very occasionally. Im hoping to keep the car in as new condition with hardly any ks on it. I want to know if I can connect a Ctek battery charger directly to the battery terminals while its connected in the car without harming the complex electricals in the car? Also I would appreciate your advice on what is the appropriate Ctek charger for this application?

You can keep certain battery chargers connected to a vehicle battery all the time such as CTEK charger # CTEK56353 which would be ideal for your 2015 Mitsubishi Lance Evolution. This charger is not a trickle charger (trickle chargers can overcharge a battery). This CTEK charger will maintain and recondition the battery and only charge it up again if it needs it. All while staying connected to the vehicle battery. For what you want to do this is the perfect charger. I have linked a video review of this charger for you.
