Hi paddy, mine is also on the drive and is always plugged in as well as I neeed the battery tip top for the mover, Ive had it like this for over 4 years now and the battery seems fine.

If the charger only charges at 13.7 or there abouts, you should be ok.
Above this the battery will start to give off gases, and eventually the electrolite level will drop below min level.
The down side off charging at 13.7 means the battery is never fully charged.
