Battery maintenance

[Jezzer]

Just wanted to know if its okay to connect a Ctek battery conditioner directly to the terminals of the battery whilst connected to the car or should they be connected to the points underneath the hood/bonnet. Could damage occur to the electronics on the car if connected directly to the battery terminals whilst connected to the car?

will be fine either way,easier under the bonnet though & there is a cut out at side of bonnet so you can run cables out & close bonnet & put alarm on

Ah! Had a quick look under the bonnet, where are the terminals for the crocodile clips?

pull off red plastic cover at bulkhead/drivers side for + & there is a sort of round allen bolt near wing you can put earth on

Just my 2 cents. I store my car each winter with a connected battery minder under the hood. My choice to connect under the hood is based on not wanting to circumvent any battery protection that may be provided by design.

i just hook my battery tender (trickler) to the terminals directly in the trunk where the battery is.
