I just bought some cheap battery charger from Shopee, tried it yesterday and it works fine. My Mark X battery went totally dead with like less than 10v, so I charged it for around 7-8hrs and it went back up to 12.5v. The charger indicator still showed it can still charging though so not full yet.

Anyone normal modern car should have no problem being idle for 1 month without starting. Some works fine even after 2 months. It depends on the car's battery health. And also if you have parasitic draw. If your car is still standard without mods like entertainment system or dashcam (connected to fuse) then it should be fine to start monthly. Or if you want to be safe, every fortnight will do.

In my personal opinion, it is better to leave the car idle as it will go into deepsleep after inactivity for long time. In this mode, battery consumption is very low. If you start it everyday, you will need to compensate back the battery because it suck a lot of power when you crank the car.

Best is just to buy a battery charger, cheap and simple.

Do you need leave charger  there even the car warm up for some time?
Can i upgrade my battery but use century brand? If yes which model number?

Hmm car is not warm up coz it could not even start, voltage was even below 10v. I just put the charger connectors straight away to the battery terminals without removing them, then leave it charging for several hours.

Similar but this one looks better than mine coz mine doesn't have the digital indicator, just red to green bars. Mine was a bit cheaper too, about rm30 if not mistaken.
