If you use one connect the positive to the battery terminal but the
negative to the vehicle chassis not the battery terminal.
Why? Most modern cars have a charge current detector/sensor on the
negative terminal. That way the cars ECU knows the battery is being
charged and its state of charge.


Can you run that by me again? Are you saying if you disconnected the
battery and connected the charger to it, it wouldn't charge?
