I took my car battery out of the car to stored in a heated basement for about 4 months. Do I have to charge it periodically with a trickle charger like this one to maintain it. The charger cost $30.

You should be okay without trickle charging it... but if it does go flat, how will you start your car? Anyway, see here:

not leaving the battery on a float charge can lead to sulfation.... sulfation damage is permanent to the battery and what that means is less cranking amps and shorter life
I'd get this instead

look on ebay
and buying the ctek is only 1 time... replacing prematurely dead batteries again and again adds up
