I always have some batteries hooked up to maintainers in my garage, but over the years had 2 failures when maintainers destroyed batteries.
That was with me walking by every day and not having any suspicious.
Now I am strong believer in monthly inspection of bulletproof systems.
Pulling the clamp might not be the best technically, but it is the safest.
On the boat the moisture and dirt on top of the battery makes short circuit that can drain the battery in long storage, that is why the best way is to put the batteries in the garage, or other dry spot.
