The tender came with traditional squeeze clamps too, but that would not be a good solution here. I think this would be a very good solution for the situation stated in the OP. Relays and cutoffs seem like way too much of an error-prone and tedious workaround.

I figured it must be something like that. The squeeze clamps really would not work of course. The charger I use most of the time is a little too busy. It has a gauge and an idiot light to tell you when you’re connected. One time I had had it on all night and just unplugged it the next morning at the outlet as I was in a hurry. Mistake. The idiot light and other features drained the battery absent 110V input.
