Charging the battery while connected?
« 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.
