I have an Optimate charger but apparently this can't be left connected to the battery whilst the battery is still fitted in the car. Is this true?

If so, is there anything I can have fitted to the car to allow me to keep the battery topped up without having to remove it or disconnect it?

So with something like this, there's no need to disconnect the battery if I wire in the eyelets of this to the terminals and connect the plug to the charger?

OK thanks for that.

I was under the impression that leaving battery connected to the car could cause problems with battery or car electrics.
