Yes, I have the same issue with my wife’s Mazda. I bought a Bluetooth connected battery monitor from Amazon that I use to keep an eye on her battery state.
When it gets low I either take it for a day and a good run or top it off with the charger, I like to periodically drive her car to keep an eye on it for potential issues anyway so it works out.

do you have a link for that monitor or the name of it?

They are shunt meters so they go in parallel with the battery and draw a little current but it is negligible. They connect to your phone via Bluetooth so it’s a short range device. You can set them up to send you notifications.

This is the one I put in her car ($39)
If I was to buy another one I would buy this one ($55) it is a little more but has more functionality
