Expert Reply:
If you have an AC-powered battery charger like # CTEK56353 installed on your boat battery to re-charge it, then it is best to NOT have the trailer plugged in to the towing vehicle while this charging is taking place. Any battery will take a charge better when it is connected only to the charger and not to anything else such as a tow vehicle.
