    Thanks. So it is not harder on the charger if kept plugged in all the time?

    No. It is better on the batteries too. There are a lot of different schools of thought on this. Some guys will tell you that is not the best idea, but all of your manufacturers will tell you to keep it plugged in 24/7. That is what I have always done and I have not had any issues.

    Just remember to check your water levels more often if you leave them plugged in all the time.
