The answer depends on the Trailer's converter.
Magnetek 6300l you may have damaged the battery.
most others.. You likely did not.. I have a Progressive Industries Intellapower 9180 with optional charge wizard (Equal to a 9280) and between the time this rig was new (2005) and when we went full time (2009 I think) this rig was plugged in all winter save for when Detroit Edison failed to provide, and then I cranked up the ONAN and it was still "plugged in".
The batteries were replaced last week.
And.. a few other comments That is one small battery, (Group 24 is only 75 amp hours give or take a couple. I have over 500 of those in this house (Amp hours that is).
Second I do not believe that is a sealed battery, I believe those are removable caps,, but the photo angle is not optimum.
