It really depends on what convert/charger you have.
Dumb converter always at 13.6V = No. (or if you do leave it plugged in, check water levels often).
Smart converter = yes.
I have to ask what the difference is between a 'smart' and 'dumb' converter may be.
I have a 'dumb' and cheap WFCO and have never has an issue. Not to say I won't, but in 2 years, no.
Smart charger varies voltage. Dumb charger always sits at 13.6V and will eventually boil them dry.
Lost a 1 year old battery on a dumb charger before replacing both.
Your WFCO may indeed be a smart charger - many are. Their problem is they dont go into bulk mode soemtimes.
