Even a perfectly good battery with absolutely no load attached whatsoever eventually runs down due to its chemistry and a maintainer can prevent that.
But if you are starting a vehicle once a week and all else is okay, THERES NOT MUCH NEED FOR A BATTERY MAINTAINER. They are more for if it sets there a long period.
