I never leave it plugged in because i am not by my boat in case something happens. I just make sure i give the batteries a full charge once per month to keep them in working order.

So you’re saying you keep your boat at the lake? Gotcha! Doesn’t sound like it sucks all that bad.

All I know if from experience.. I had a MK 3 bank 30A charger that went bad that I left plugged in all the time, didn't burn my barn down but ruined 3 batteries (boiled all the water out). I charge and unplug now, at least if the charger goes bad I will save $300 in batteries! Like many have said I plug in when I return from fishing and unplug the next day and charge the night before I go again. Works for me.
I charge my batteries once a month in the winter. No way I'm leaving a charger plugged in 24/7. The odds on something bad happening are small, but the consequences if it did would be huge.
