Battery float charger ?
I started the car without unpluging the charger from the outlet. I don't know if it is still ok. The red light is still on and it seems to be working. Anyone know if that would ruin the charger?

I fried one like that, it was a 30 buck sealed unit, I only buy the cheap 10 buck ones from harbor freight anymore and remember to take it off before I start the car.
If you have a meter check the battery voltage in about a week and see if it is holding the charge, if not toss it and buy a few at harbor freight, if you trash one of those it dosn't feel as bad.

You should be just fine.
