During the driving season, I leave the battery in the car and attach the charger leads to the jump start terminal in the engine compartment and an aluminum ear on the block. When I put the car away, I remove the battery and attach the charger leads to the battery terminals directly. -- Mike ________________________________ From: Kevin Heller <howdyhoho@xxxxxxxxx> To: "dmcnews@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx" <dmcnews@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> Sent: Mon, September 24, 2012 12:06:11 PM Subject: [DML] Battery Charger usage question Hi everyone, Quick question regarding the use of a battery charger in our cars: is it better to remove the battery from the car before charging it, or can you charge it while in the car? For example, could you connect one of the charger leads to the jump-start post in the engine compartment and the other to...? Engine block?
