Most lead acid batteries are designed to be worked not sitting in a constant full charged state.
This is what I was taught many moons ago in the trade.

XB i did this for 8+ years with my BF GT as i got sick of going out to it and getting the CHH CHH CHH and never had a problem, having said that i wouldn't do it with a 4 amp charger or over. And the terminal is fused too.
The Mustang is much more fickle than the FPV and will shut down all sorts of systems if the charge is low and i had that tested recently and it was pumping out better than new .
One thing i did learn with the Mustang was to put the negative terminal connector on to a body earth and not the battery as it messes with the smart charge system in the car and the voltage now reads strongly every time drive it whereas before it fluctuated .
