Trickle charging question

[Mac077]

Can you trickle charge the battery through the terminal in the engine bay or do you have to go directly on the battery itself? 6 amp or 2 amp setting??

You should be able to charge it no problem from under the hood. If you want a slow trickle them use the 2 amp setting. If it keeps going flat then you will have to check the charge rate from the alternator - if its ok, then your battery is toast.

I use a trickle charger in the winter when my car is parked till spring. Battery Tender kind.I just use the terminals under the hood. Works fine.http://batterytender.com/

I suggest disconnecting the battery. I once charged mine that way and I got a service stability system soon indication on the DIC. Lucky tho, it did go away after disconnecting the battery. Never tried it again. Not saying this is common, but it happened with me. The battery in 2000+ bonnevilles is just under the back seat anyhow. Should be easy to avoid the possible risk. Thats just me

I use a Battery Tender trickle charger all the time and connect it under the hood without disconnecting the battery. Works fine.
