If you remain connected to shorepower it "should" not be necessary do disconnect the battery. For those of us without access to 110vAC current between trips it's vital.
Assuming the built-in changer won't boil the battery dry without verifying it periodically can lead to battery destruction. I've killed too many batteries in my life to assume the charger remains in perfect condition. Don't assume. Check.
The tripped breaker is another example why the battery should be disconnected with you're not using or charging it. Batteries don't like to be discharged and 7.5v is dramatically deep discharged.
