[QUOTE="E34EuroTouring, post: 98155, member: 1026"] No need to remove the terminals. Just put +ve to +ve and -ve to -ve on charger and plug in overnight. I have been doing this for years in my second E34 that is driven once in 2 weeks or less. This is a trickle charger so if the battery is 10.75 volts, it will climb to 13.86 volts and stay there for whole night. Next day. A good voltage of 13.80 is stable on the battery. This can last for one month or more with alarm on and some minor drain on some internal electronics. My E34 has 2 alarms, an AutoPage alarm and a GSM Phone alarm so it holds standby on a phone for a whole month and still can start at 11 volts!. ;) [/QUOTE]
