#1: Trickle charge, need to disconnect battery? Author: fan168, Location: North HampshirePosted: Fri Mar 16, 2012 10:47 am ---- I have a Peugeot 206 Roland Garros 1.6 Auto. We have two cars so this one is only doing short journeys at the moment so planning to trickle charge the battery periodically to keep it topped up.
Do I need to disconnect the battery every time I charge it? I have one of those ctek chargers which can pulse charge. Read somewhere on the web that I wouldn't need to disconnect but just wanted to be sure.

Author: fan168, Location: North HampshirePosted: Fri Mar 16, 2012 11:31 am ---- Thanks for the replies, I've only every used the charger once and that was for a completely flat battery in another car. Brought the battery indoors on that occasion as I didn't have a long enough extension lead. The 206 has actually been fine but thought I would charge as a preventative measure.

Never removed the batteries from the cabs though

There is a very high risk of cοck-up doing things like that in my experience.
