It seems like you can't swing a cat here or on just about any car related forum w/o hitting a "battery issues" post of some kind.
Therefore, I've taken to keeping a maintenance charger on my truck 365 days a year now. (A NOCO, which I think is a good charger/maintainer.)
There are times I won't drive the truck for 2-3 weeks, particularly in the winter, so keeping the battery topped off won't hurt anything to begin with IMHO.
I haven't had any issues with my rig to spur this decision. I just think I see an all too common not at all unusual issue with these new vehicles and their multiple power hungry modules that don't always behave. (Software developers can't foresee all circumstances and situations.)
If nothing else, keeping the battery on a charger should extend the life of the battery a little anyway.
