Any harm leaving the battery charger connected.

Hi all. With the weather being cold I generally don't ride, but some days it warms up nice enough and when I get the to the bike, battery has discharged. I just have the standard stock battery. Any harm in leaving the charger connected, loss of battery life, fire hazard, etc?

Idea:
Hook your cheapo battery charger up to a timer. Set it so it comes on for 30-45 minutes a day.
That's what I do for my five bikes (I don't own a cage). I don't really trust "smart" battery chargers, so I do it this way. My setup uses a digital timer and it cuts all 5 battery chargers on for 40 minutes every night.
Everything is mounted to the ceiling to reduce clutter.
The sheet metal you see up there is to mitigate any fire hazard.
