No issues although I'm reluctant to leave it connected and charging when I'm not home.
If it helps, I've had a long hood in storage for over a year now (I use it, but it sleeps in a warehouse), it's ALWAYS on the maintainer/charger (connected the charger leads to battery terminals, I just plug in the charger now). It was also in storage the year before that before I moved... So 2 yrs on those things 24h/day. You can probably relax... As long as you use proper equipment (charger/maintainer) I don't see how it could hurt the car. It's not like max amps charger on a dead battery forever, those modern chargers just stop charging when the battery is good... Everything electrical still A-OK !
