Leave charger on or not?


Our 41 CMY has a CCharles 60amp Model 5000 three bank charger. I just replaced all three batteries with Maintenance free lead acid batteries. My question is should I leave the charger on all the time or turn it off when we are not there? Probably no longer than three weeks between boat visits and while it can get cold, bildge shouldn’t drop below 50 degrees.

Oh one more thing. No idea what setting the charger is set to related to lead acid, gel, or AGM. Not sure what CCharles or Carver was thinking, but the switch to change the setting is on the back of the charger and it is mounted to the back port bulkhead with about 3 inches between muffler and unit. No way to get to it that I can see.
