Use of "Trickle" type Battery ChargersIF you're talking about automotive battery applications, and it is truly a trickle charger, then the charger and cables can be left attached to the battery, and it should keep the battery at max voltage.

IF however, the charger puts out more voltage than a true trickle charger, then the battery could be damaged by "overcharging."
