Trickle Charger
Is it OK to leave it in the auxiliary socket when not in use? Rather than plugging and unplugging all the time. I've read conflicting information on this. If it is unplugged from the wall socket it seems it would be OK to leave it plugged into the aux socket.

Yeah, I would completely unplug the charger from the car.

According to Page 9 of its manual, US 3300 Corvette Model 1051 Battery Chargers have very low Back Current Drain (i.e., current the charger uses from the battery when the wall plug is not connected) of only 1.3 mA, or about 1 Ah per month.
