Great advice. I will disconnect the battery in the morning and I have been thinking about getting a battery charger as well.

Make sure the charger has a auto switch over from full charge to float charge or the battery will cook.

I like the Battery TENDER BRAND.

You can use the built-in converter, it is supposed to be a 3-stage charger (although someone here found info that may dispute that, but I find it hard to believe any modern converter wouldn't be).  I recently used a Kill-A-Watt to see how much electric my pod uses "at rest" and it averages 31 watts with everything off and the battery fully charged.  I'm sure a dedicated battery tender would use less if you want to save a bit on the electric bill.
 
Either way you'll want to check the water level often until you are certain it isn't boiling it away too quickly as wallawallaron mentioned.

I had a pair of old tennis shoes that used to set off my alarms that were down low. I had to throw the shoes out.
