The boss in local battery centre says it's ok to connect neg charger lead
to neg terminal on battery.

However, car's user manual suggests connecting to somewhere on the
chassis. This can be a pain, getting a good connection. Any thoughts TIA.



I don't see the reason for using the chassis unless testing the earth, but
you don't need a charger for that!

I persume the idea is to reduce current if anything shorts, thus avoiding fire.

I actually built a charger many moons back and believe me its better on the
battery.
