Some are designed not to draw any current back out of the battery when AC is not applied, others will drain the battery at a low rate if not plugged in.

You've just reminded me of the significance of the red LED on my HF
trickle charger which indcates proper polarity, even when unplugged.
I guess I'm off through the frigid weather to unhook the thing from
the battery.
