How do we keep our hybrid in good condition during self isolation?

Looks like our Toyota Auris hybrid could be sitting on the drive for a few weeks now. Can I connect a normal trickle charger to the 12v battery? What about the hybrid battery? It is starting okay at the moment but the hybrid battery is showing quite low.

The trickle charger will keep the 12V battery topped up but will not affect the high voltage hybrid battery pack. If the car is parked up for 2/3 weeks then the high voltage battery should be fine and retain its minimum charge.
