Title: Charging the battery while connected?
Post by: Drewtee on September 17, 2009, 06:40:05

I know this is a silly question but need to know the answer. Is it ok to charge the battery whilst still in the car and connected or would you disconnect as standard?

With a drip charger it is the normal operating procedure. With a high amperage charger, check the charger instructions.
