In those situation where the charging transformer can be left plugged

Hope not a silly question !

no.

Is that "no it's not a silly question?"

There will be a small leakage but generally will be insignificant to
battery self leakage.

No they wont discharge the battery. The amount of leakage in the
charger is orders of magnitude lower than the self discharge of any
battery

Well, that's an authorative answer thanks, and to others respondees.
Also reassuring, since having the charger/transformer permanently
attached means it does not get mislaid or the wrong one used.

Now you don't often hear that ...)
