What trickle charger should I use for a mild hybrid?

Can you suggest a suitable trickle charger for my mild hybrid Mercedes GLC 300? There seems to be a lot of choice.

We would suggest the CTEK MXS 5.0 12v battery charger, which we tested over on Honest John Kit. It's not the cheapest one out there at around £60, but it is a good quality item and will mean you can leave your Mercedes for long periods without fear of the battery being drained.
