I've left mine fully charged with a battery maintainer connected. Did nothing else to the car except start it up when I got back from Atlanta.

Note I used a maintainer and not a trickle charger as the maintainer shuts off totally when the battery is fully charged where a trickle changer just continues to charge at a low rate cooking the battery over a multi-week period.
