OOpps .. Sorry Shea, didn't mean to duplicate your post!
Not that starter batteries get drained much but those style you really want to keep at full charge and limit time at half or below - but doubtful they get that low unless you have other stuff like electronics and bubblers on them. So I would agree charge them once you get home. Deep cycle can handle getting drained better but same think I don't believe you want them sitting in non-fully charged state for too long. Only exception and concern I have with these 15 amp chargers is if they charge too fast. That just heats up the battery and heat is a killer so if you have a slow trickle charge setting if you're not in a rush I'd say use that. I agree now I unplug after a day when all are charged and then I charge the night before.
It is the cabellas brand charger. I have always left them plugged in, not anymore!
