Default Leave it plugged in

What happened to me when I first got my brand new EXGo RXV cart in 2009.
I unplugged the ac cord whenever I wasn't charging. After about 2 days of doing this the next time I plugged in the ac cord the charger blew out and it had to be replaced(under warranty). I used the new charger for about 2 weeks using the same process and it too blew out upon plugging it in. I asked the dealer about the importance of the plug in sequence and they said it didn't matter, but most customers leave the ac cord in all the time.. Now with the third charger in hand I changed the plug in procedure. I always leave the ac cord in the wall socket and just plug in the cord to the cart when charging. It's been 5 months and everything is still working great. That was my experience
