You shoudl be good to go!  |
Yeah, usually it's just an LED that is drawing any power that can be accounted for. I used to leave them plugged in, but I stopped doing that after I dodged the bullet with a defective charger. Something failed in the charger and shorted out. It got hot enough to start melting the shell. I didn't see any of the magic smoke, but you could smell the burning plastic. Luckily I was in the car when it happened. There was nothing plugged into the charger, so it wasn't overloaded. The charger only was plugged into the port in car.
