    With all the power outages/surges we get I don't keep mine plugged in all the time. I'll be installing a GFCI on a separate circuit so that I can, though.

    Storm's can blow up real quick like. Lightning, power surges. I don't keep mine plugged in all the time. Never had a problem with battery's not being charged. I Plug it in Every time I get home from the lake and then again the day before I go again.
    I'm sick of following my dreams. I'm just going to ask them where they're goin' and hook up with them later.

    That wont stop a power surge just a imbalance in the load to keep you from getting shocked

    Your going to get mixed opinions on this topic. I've heard horror stories no matter which you do it. I personally leave mine plugged in as much as possible. My charger switches to maintenance mode once they have reached full charge. I also use a surge protector similar to one you use to protect other expensive electronics in the house.

    The chargers are so smart today they are made not to harm the batteries. I just leave it plugged in till I'm ready to go
    And with that, I'll see you on the water...
