so basically what you are saying is that if I need to recharge my battery all I need do is connect the battery charger leads to the battery without disconnecting one of the terminals??

I'm no expert, but thats the way i see it.
Just for the record on all four of my previous cars including the Scoob, i've never disconnected the battery when charging, and i'm yet to see any adverse reaction. To be honest it never crosses my mind at the time.

I think you will be safe enough to connect direct to the battery with a trickle charger. If you are using one of those fast charge devices I believe it would be safer to disconnect the battery in case of overvolting which might damage the electronics.

I think this used to be the case when alternators first came out, as the reverse voltage would damage the diodes in the rectifier pack.
Not sure if this is still the case though.
Why not give a local Scoob dealer a ring, and ask to speak to someone from service, *but NOT the receptionist lady!!)
