Before unplugging the shoreline, I would disconnect the tender. Before reconnecting the tender I would make sure the battery is fully charged.

My experience w/ my battery tender plus is very different than most here say.
I have been using mine as the only charging source for the single grp 27 trolling motor battery on my Bass boat since I bought it new in 2011.
I seldom take the batt down to 50%, but 60 and 70% most times. And despite what some say, my Tender plus does always charge the battery to 100%, from whatever it's discharged state is. Sometimes it stays on 14.4 volts all day, and maybe 1/2 the nite too, but it does fully charge it. I have never checked the amperage on the tender while it is in 14.4 bulk mode, but I have a feeling it is somewhat more than its capacity rating.
