My MH 2013/14 model built on a Peugeot chassis has a +ve battery connection under the bonnet and I was old that I could connect my charger or booster cables there if I needed to. (The negative side to go to a chassis point)
This would save lifting mats and covers in the cab to get at the battery but having looked at the battery I see it is of the old style with vent caps which I assume need to be released whilst it is on charge.
My questions therefore are as follows:
Is it OK to use that connector and leave the battery connected to the vehicle whilst it charges, good intelligent charger from CTEK?
Do I have to release the vent caps whilst it is charging and I guess top up the electrolyte with Distilled water if necessary or can they be left tight.
