Best people to ask would be Optima themselves imo

Should be ok if you leave it on charge, providing the charger is of the type that switches into float, to prevent the battery from discharging and prevent damage to it?

Yes deffo keep the battery on a float charge of around 13.8v, SVRLA batteries are badly damaged by a deep/long discharge and left.
