Do you remove battery from car or cars connectors off battery terminals?Can you just attach this to car battery without disconnecting from car?

You can simply connect the charger with the battery still in the car. Simple! Just like any other charger.

No need to remove the battery from the car. The kit comes with wires to attach to the terminals then you can simply plug the harness in whenever you want to use the charger. I keep mine on all the time (in the garage)..

in the picture, see those little red and black eyelet attachments? They bolt onto your battery and lead to a small plug, so that you can easily plug/unplug the device each time you park. however if you are looking for a 'quick fix' you can use the clamp attachments which do not require unscrewing the battery, but arent 'permanently installed' on the battery and should be removed before you drive the car. All this info is the same for a motorcycle. I use mine on a motorcycle

All of the batteries are still connected and installed in the various vehicles. I've been using it for about two months in fairly cold weather without any issues. Works as stated--so far, so good.

I didn't but it to use on my car, however, I would if I thought the battery was weak. It might take a long time to charge enough to start the car. I don't know of any reason you couldn't put it on the battery terminals while they are connected, but I would disconnect the charger before starting the car to be safe.

It depends on your car some cars have slow constant drains in them from security systems and lighting and advanced electronics and these would trick the Sansour into giving incorrect readings on your batteries voltage so most of the time the battery is suggested to be disconnected but if it's just for a little top off charge you can get away with it

The end that has the silver bolt on it goes around your negative battery terminal. Then you attach the clamp that was on the negative terminal on to the copper post on the opposite end. You then tighten the green screw top to connect the power and unscrew it about 3 revolutions to disconnect the power, you will hear a solenoid click when you connect or disconnect the power flow.

No sweat...most important step that most people skip is hook up to battery with no less than #4 welding cable. # 2 is what i used and never had an issue powering anything. If you cheat on this, it will kick out on you constantly. Auto parts store will have dual batt terminals for a few bucks for hook up. Sweet unit...:)

yes!,suggest you disconnect negative battery terminal during storage to preserve life of the car battery. charge jumper pack to 100% and connect cables. charge battery pack every other month to keep it ready to go

Disconnect ANY battery charger from the vehicle, before running the vehicle. Slamming the battery and most importantly the electronics of the auto with two different charging inputs, is not a healthy idea for those auto computers.

It is a trickle charger, so you can leave the battery connected to the car. Very low charging, and this product is "smart" in that once it senses the battery is fully charged, it switches to a maintenance mode to protect the car. Disconnecting the battery is not a bad idea, just to be safe....but I'm a little lazy and leave it connected.

Keep it connected unless you need to use the car. The idea of a tender is that it will maintain the current battery charge that the car has without over charging it and ruining the battery.

if the battery is out of the car just connect the neg and pos clamps directly to the respective posts on the battery.

I'm not exactly a car guy, but I like doing some things myself, so I just took my car to a shop and asked if they could drop a auxiliary wire for me. They rigged to up out of the fuse box near the drivers feet. Probably attached it to the fuse panel because you want it to turn off and on with the car. If you attach it directly to the battery, it will constantly be powered on and will drain the battery.

Yeah I do think the connector is a little too small to connect to the battery. I just spliced a new connector that was large enough to fit around the battery terminal. If you do not have any you can buy them at Walmart for a few dollars.

There are a couple methods that will work.The first is to attach battery clips to the panel cord, then when needed clip onto the battery. This is simple but you always need to make sure the polarity is correct and when not attached it would be good to not let the clips touch so the panel isn't shorted.Another method would be to purchase a mating set of 2 pin flat connectors. These are similar to the 4 pin connectors used to connect a trailer to a car. Connect one to the battery (best if the exposed pin is connected to minus). Connect the other to the panel (exposed pin connected to plus). Now you just have to mate the connector and there is no chance of a short.Regards There are a couple methods that will work.The first is to attach battery clips to the panel cord, then when needed clip onto the battery.

It's actually correct and safer for the negative cable to be attached to a strong ground on the car as opposed to being connected directly to the battery's negative terminal. (This is how to properly connect jumper cables to the auto your jumping, as well. Most do not do this or are not aware.)

I'm using the wiring harness that came with the battery operated vehicle. Just unplugged the harness(mine was blue) which attaches to the terminals and attached to new battery. I actually bought 2 batteries and switch harness back and forth

No. The battery is not removable. With the right adapter, you can charge it in the car.

Yes, it has post that can be removed (they're threaded into the battery) and you can just bolt your battery cables directly to the battery or you can use the posts and a more 'standard' connection.

I don't connect it to constant because it could drain your battery. I rely on the back up battery when the car is off.

Very simple, remove plastic tab in back which allows battery to work once removed. Pick a spot where you like to put in your vehicle once selected there will be a velcro strip. Peel back layer off it and stick where you want the unit placed. I suggest running external wire to outside of car before sticking to velcro. Once wire is ran properly to outside of car you are now ready to use your product :) enjoy!
