Default looking for some re-assurance

Is it completely safe to leave my battery hooked up to Battery Tender? I only drive my Vette about once a week and have a Tender, but have seldom used it. I finally thought maybe I should hook it up and use it. However, I find myself going to the garage often to check on it. I have it correctly hooked up and it is functioning correctly.

Should I or should I not leave it hooked up between times I drive the car?

Leave it hooked up all the time,except when driving it. heh,heh
You have nothing to worry about!
Had you bought something other than a battery tender, then i might not be so sure.
A battery tender however can be left on for months at a time with NO adverse effects, or risk of fire etc.
Enjoy your car, as now it will start!
