Trickle charger Question!

[H 8 ROK]

With winter on the way,I was wondering how long you can leave a trickle charger (accumate) connected to the cigarette lighter on my chimaera?

My Chim has the accumate connected to it every time it is in the garage. Often left on for a few weeks at a time depending on weather, holiday, work commitments etc.

Can't you just leave it on when not in use?

That's what I do.

Mines on for 8 months if I don't disconnect the battery

My Accumate is on all the time, but during the winter, apart from the odd dry day here and there to give the car a run, it sits in the garage from early November through to early March. Been like it for 7 years
