Charger draining battery

No shore power plugged in because my batteries kept draining. figured out that the charger was not doing its job, so ordered a new charger. While waiting for the new charger I notice the light is constantly on from the old charger. I disconnect that battery and the light goes out. Can the charger drain a battery if shore power is not hooked up and both batteries are turned off at the panel on a 242 Rinker ?

I don't have one, but I would expect there to be a way to turn off the inverter function on a combination unit.
You could google the model number of the charger and see if it is a combination unit.
