Yup, without knowing what converter, charger or inverter/charger you have, there is no way we can give sage advice.
If a smart charger or inverter/charger AND IT IS PROPERLY PROGRAMMED, you can safely leave it plugged in 24/7/365.
Basically if it maintains battery voltage between 13.2 and 13.5 VDC you can leave it on. If higher, it will overcharge them. If lower, they will not fully charge. And this is float voltage, meaning after they are fully charged.
Yep. A modern converter/charger can be plugged in 24/7/365. I have a newish (2014) PowerMax converter in my '84 Allegro. I leave it plugged in round the clock and it hasn't boiled my 3 batteries. Capacity is as good as the day I bought them.
