This will not apply to most, but to those
who live off grid,could be important.
I live off grid so I have chargers on most of my vehicles that sit. On some chargers
there is both leakage in the diodes and leakage through the bleeder resistor across the output filter capacitor. In other words wheh AC is off the charger will DISCHARGE the battery. I added a 120V. coil relay to the output, both positive and negative to remedy this. I've been chasing this gremlin for a while.
