You can if if has a maintenance feature like the digital chargers do. I charge mine fully and unplug it. I top them off every now and then, or the day before I go fishing. I don’t like leaving mine on.

My MinnKota 345 and 230 are left plugged up from the time the boat is backed into the garage until it leaves again.
My MinnKota 330D is alsoQuote:

I wouldn't mind if that happened. I'm insured.

If your charger goes into maintenance / float mode you are in good shape. Have not thought about it but I have 5 batteries currently plugged into chargers with two boats.
My Minnkota stays plugged in..when the boat is in the barn
