Yes it matters. I turn mine to "off" when away from the boat. Regardless of the position you leave the switch in, the charger will charge your batteries as it's either hooked up directly to the batteries or to the source side of the selector switch unless a previous owner made some changes. DON'T leave the switch on "Both" as this will combine banks and render your charger's bank isolation useless. That is a good way to shorten battery life, and if one battery is bad, you'll toast all of them because you've combined them all in the "Both" position.
