Question About Trickle Charger

I live in Maryland, have an FLFBS 2018, and it's just starting to turn colder.

How much do I need to ride per week before I have to worry about putting a trickle charger on it. I figure that's not easy to answer, but just looking for an approximation; such as, if I ride at least one hour per week the battery will stay healthy.

Thanks!

Forget the Trickle Charger and get a Battery Tender ... Put it on and plug it in when you're not riding ... Done

Larry is right, battery tender plugged in when not riding, all 4 seasons.

I should have put this up front, but I live in an apartment building, so it’s not easy to find a place with a plug next to it.

Thanks for the advice guys, I’ll try to keep it in the tender as often as able.
