advise on battery maintainer
#21
+1. I have occasionally left the car sitting for weeks at a time with no need for a tender. The OBD issue created the tender conspiracy theory.

I have had a Battery Tender on my F type for 3 years with no issues. There are instructions on where/how to connect it someplace on the Forum. I have had a Battery Tender Jr on my MGB for decades - every spring, I let the fuel pump pressurize the system, pull the choke and it starts like it was already warmed up. Has paid for itself many times in avoiding new batteries.

I use a CTEK 4.3 charger on my 2011 XK. It is connected directly to the positive and negative terminals of the battery and I have had no problems. In view of the fact that the battery has a BMS attached to its negative terminal, shouldn’t I attach the negative lead of my CTEK wiring harness to a chassis ground instead?
Would I be at risk of damaging any electronics in my car if I do so?
This video seems to explain the charging process clearly. I just want to make sure I'm not going to damage any electronics.
