It depends!

IT DEPENDS! .... on WHICH CONVERTER do you have installed?

If you have a multi-stage converter (like a WFCO or some aftermarkets) the batteries will not "fry". Just check the battery water every couple months.

It really should be every owner's desire to determine what type/brand converter they have installed.

Mine is plugged in always while in storage, with the refrigerator on. i use a heavy duty appliance timer between the converter and the wall outlet. I set it to charge about an hour a day. My batteries do just fine.

Hi Cameron,

I just leave mine pugged in between trips, often for weeks at a time. It's the original charger/converter, and it does not cook the battery.
