Transformer question

In those situation where the charging transformer can be left plugged in while the apparatus is in store (for example, a rechargeable electric razor) does the transformer "load" gradually discharge the battery? Hope not a silly question !

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

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

Some chargers exercise the battery by completely discharging before re charging.

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. (When are homes going to be 12(?) volt DC wired and we can forget all this paraphanalia ? Mobile phone chargers are going in the right direction - hurrah for the EU ! Now you don't often hear that ...) R.
