You make a good point, not sure what impact this has or if it just shortens battery life a little.@Frank.Herbst would the style of charger matter? I have a smart charger from Odesy and a Battery Tender Jr that I swap between based on where it’s parked in the garage (still on stock/original battery).
Like a couple others have mentioned, I’ve been hooked up straight to the negative terminal for years now with no lights or issues; but self admittedly don’t spend any time watching the volt gauge when driving. I’d still rather learn and do it right. Plus swapping the location would give me something to tinker with today;) !
The charger type only helps in that the better chargers have built in protection against over charging, that current should still go through the harness so the on board computer knows what went into the battery.
Hope this helps.
