I have read the manual several times over and it advised to remove the battery for charging or to at least disconnect it fully before charging. I believe they are referring to the usual full on charge whwre you put heavy amperage into the battery which could definitely harm the system. .
My question is whether that is necessary in hooking up a 1.25 amp trickle charger such as a battery tender? I received a low battery warning this evening on the center stack screen, and I am probably guilty of leaving lights on too long, as we are in the wildfire area here in San Diego County. Things have been nuts so the battery is down a bit. I did drive the vehicle about 150 miles last Friday but not much since, and don't plan on driving much for the next week or so. Probably too many short trips and starts and stops.
Anyone simply hook up the Battery Tender to the battery terminals and charge overnight or over a weekend with no problems? On other vehicles it has always worked fine that way, no matter the car or the electronic systems involved. I just want to be sure that the LR is the same way.
Thanks for your input.
