Freddyfruitbat. That looks like it can be left on all the time, it is microprocessor controlled so it should only put a charge in, when it is needed. If you have a voltmeter you can check the part charge and the full charge voltages. Should not go above 13.5 volts
What is this life if full of care we have no time to stand and stare, and rev the nuts off the beast.

I've been using Optimates for probably 20 years, some bikes have had one connected for up to 6 months without any problems, haven't had a battery fail yet, but did have an Optimate fail after 15 years  :)
