installing new battery
#41
I would never have any sort of charger or maintainer stored inside the car while connected to the mains, too many things could go wrong especially in the likely scenario of this being left unattended. I reckon that is why the manufacturers also advise against this practice.

Lol, I wimped out on battery change and let my Indy do it at first service in Dec 18. Luckily I had a type 19 with high output in the garage which still had over 3yrs warranty left (taken from my old x100 that was written off). They didn't charge me for this.
As to CTEK I've always used an extension lead with it in the boot with tailgate shut and car locked*. The MXS 5.0 doesn't get warm on normal recharge only on recon mode.
*And yes neighbours have asked if it was electric...even with no backbox so it sounds like a diety gargling on startup
