My 2015 Jeep Grand Cherokee has the battery located under the passenger seat. It also has "jumper posts" located under the hood to jump start the vehicle, should the need arise. Should there be any circumstances that would prevent using a battery charger or maintainer off those same jumper posts?
Common sense would dictate no. If the jumper posts can handle a high output Lithium Ion jump starter, a charger should be no problem. But with so much electronics in these newer cars, it pays to be careful.
I was thinking of hooking up a Battery Tender, or else charge it from time to time using a charger, (15 amp). Reason being is it sits for several days sometimes, and I know it's better for batteries to remain in a fully charged state. It is a AGM battery, and from what I've read here, they like a higher charging rate than standard flooded lead acid batteries.
So..... Assuming hooking the charger up to the jumper posts, instead of directly to the battery terminals won't cause any issues or problems, what would a good charging rate be for a 850 CCA AGM battery. Thanks in advance. (The max my charger puts out is 15 amps).
