Bought another charger... lol this is quickly becoming an obsession. No BT this time, so I'm using an IP camera to monitor remotely.

No need to remove the car terminals from the battery while charging?

Ideally, yes. Some automatic chargers might not stop charging when the parasitic load is interfering with its measurements. But for practical reasons, no need if you're just topping it off.

I don't trust this charger enough to leave it on indefinitely. I got into this with my eyes wide open.... I know it's not a CTEK, so I won't expect it to behave as such.

While parked waiting at Meralco compound i decided to check the charging voltage of my gs. 14.1V lang with engine on idle. Mababa di ba? Dapat at least 14.5V? napa-order tuloy ako ng smart battery charger sa lazada, yung Foxsur na100 amp model. Di ko nakita agad yung 150 amp e yun sana pero for shipping na kasi nung makita ko. Anyway good naman na for 3sm yung 100 amp. Di pa dumadating. Sana oem.

4.2V for 3.6V system

42V for 36V
