Since we are full timers we are often parked and connected to shore power for several months. The engine battery will discharge in about three weeks so I have used a BatteryMinder on my engine battery for about 10 years.
According to their tech support it can be left connected when the engine is running. The starting voltage transients will not hurt it nor will the alternator charging voltage of about 14.4 volts (the BatteryMinder output float voltage is about 13.2 volts). I haven't disconnected mine in years and it works fine.
