It really depends on the condition of your battery, how often you drive it, and even the type of battery. You can never go wrong with a good smart charger, like the Ctek MXS 5.0, but a regular charger will top up your battery. Where a good smart battery charger will change to a trickle charge or stop charging when the battery is fully charged, a regular charger may happily boil your battery dry, continuing to charge it after it's already charged. Batteries run $150 -$300 for Tregs. That smart charger I recommended is $100. I'll leave the math up to you.

I don't know anything about the Mercedes Charger. If it has a maintenance mode, sulphation reduction mode and mode for different battery types (Standard/AGM), it might be worth a shot. The Ctek charger I suggested is pretty well regarded.
