Default New DPI charger question!

Hey everyone, got a few questions. I just received my dpi charger from scotty b. I had a fresh pack of 6-8v batteries and this was there first charge. I ran them
Down to about 47v and just used the charger. It took about 10-12 hours and the green light came on as charged. I pulled the plugs and use my multimeter and got a 52.6 v reading which I think is a good full charge. Very happy!! Anywho, I use my cart at my campground and it may sit for a week or two. I use it during the day and if I hypothetically run my cart to let's say 50v in on day, should I plug it in while I'm asleep to bring it back up or let it run down farther? Also when I leave for the week or two should I leave it plugged in or just bring it to a full charge and unplug it? I'm a worry wart and I'm just worried
About it being plugged in for two weeks straight. I still hums a little even when the charged light comes on. I'm also worried about the elements it may endure while it's plugged in and unattended like rain. What are your thoughts and I appreciate the help in advance. Should I plug it in even if I only use it for 30 min a day. Lol, lots of worrying here.

If its one of his smart chargers, then it will never hurt your batteries leaving it plugged-in - but it sure will HELP. The only time you don't need to plug it in, is if you know you'll be leaving in 5 minutes - otherwise plug it in. Batteries last the longest and perform the best, if they are always topped up.

If weather is a concern, I guess you could place it on the center/floor of your cart when stored so direct rain wouldn't hit it. But leaving carts plugged in to a smart charger while stored, is one of the biggest reasons to buy one.
