Hi everyone!
This morning temps dropped below -35c here in Alberta and the batteries were not having it. I went by Canadian Tire and picked up their 2A intelligent battery charger, something I could plug in and forget about.

Now I plugged it in, hooked up the cables directly to the battery, and walked away. Later I was bored and decided to read the reviews on the product and people have complained of this charger ruining their batteries. I opened up the instructions, which I should have done in the first place, and it nowhere displayed that you may connect the charger alligator clamps directly to the battery.
The diagram I saw shows the positive clamp directly on the positive terminal, and the negative connected to a ground on the vehicle. So I moved the cable and called it a day. What would the real big difference be if I had left the clamps hooked directly up to the battery?
Thanks!
