Charging Griff's battery

[groucho]

Is it OK to charge the battery (with charger) without dis-connecting it?

Cheers.

Yes, not a problem,turn off the ignition of course.

Yup, as above. Trickle chargers are a good idea this time of year, both mine are (usually) permanently on charge.

I think the usual advice is ok so long as the positive is connected to the battery terminal and the negative to an earth, not to the negative terminal on the battery.

I charge mine through the cigarette lighter, and have done for the last 4 years with no problems! Just overnight once a month through the winter!

Eh? I haven't got an accumate or anything like that but I have a common-all-garden one. What do you mean above? Sounds like a load of hassle to me.
