I walk away while connected all the time.

With the older SAE plugs, it was an issue, because those bastards DO NOT come apart easily. The newer "Barrel" style plugs, pop right out when you put some pressure on them.

On the Duc, I installed a small "waterproof" bulk-head connector in the side panel. Flip the trap door open, and plug in. I rewired my battery tender with a matching barrel connector, so I can plug that into the same spot, without fucking around with the seat, or dangling wires.
