Actually, disconnecting the ground wire is good advice, but always remember to follow your specific battery’s manual for best practices.

Some types might need different care than what’s mentioned. Always check the specs!

Good to know it’s not just me plugging in random stuff that drains it.

It’s crucial to verify this for your specific battery model.

I thought it’d just keep the battery topped off without issues. Jonathan Holmes, what’s your take on leaving it plugged in for like, weeks?
