Default Re: Hooking up battery charger on Model A

Besides the good advice given, I keep the charger itself away from the car. Just the wires coming from the charger connect to the battery.

I.E. do not put the charger on the running boards.

Battery Chargers should not have the chassis connected to the output power. The correct design is for the AC ground (third wire) to be connected to the chassis. However, it is sometimes made where the negative output also is connected to the chassis. Thus, I always have the charger not touching any part of the car.
