    Sounds ok.

    Just be aware of the need to check battery fluid regularly. Suggest weekly to start with until you know what is required.
    That charger will take the battery to 100% charge when the car is not used regularly. Wet batteries will bubble & gas when being fully charged & may lose fluid & need regular topping up as a result. Alternator charging is different, & only generally charges starter batteries to 70 or 80%, which doesn’t gas them. If you keep your battery fully charged & topped up it should give it a longer life.
