I have some starting problems at the mo which mean I need to keep charging the battery. I've been told that I need to remove the battery before I charge it, otherwise the loom will get charged as well. Is this right, cos it's a bit of a pain in the neck? Am I going to cause problems if I charge the battery in situ? I've always done that with other cars I've owned.

no need to remove the battery for trickle charging

They probably just mean disconnect the battery not remove it from the car.

 

The chap I bought the car from jump started his years ago and had to have the ecu and a few other parts replaced.

I charge the battery (in car) often as its sorned but like to keep it running and move it up and down the drive :) i do remove the batt terminals though and have replaced the fluid once

 

I'm still gonna need a new batt in the end though :/
