i have a shed at home and the van is connected 24/7 by EHU.this is on a timer of 4 hours a day this keeps my dehumidifier running a battery charged. it is always fully charged.done this for years,it only like being on a site for weeks at one time it will only charge to 13.5 volts max so no damage can happen by over charging. if top up type you need to check it for water every 6 months. see battery

If the 12V system is turned off so nothing's draining the battery, there shouldn't be any need to topup the battery more then every three months. I've left mine for 4 months and it didn't require much charging.
