Battery Charger

The following is a post from an other board. Anyone have an answer?

"ok right after you quit laughing at this stupid question.....
put a new deep cycle battery in this morning, been on the "on-board charger" all day and the charge light is still on. in the event the charger has gone bad i would like to unplug the "on-board" charger from the wall outlet ----hook up the portable charger for awhile and see what happens.

the question??? if the on board charger is not hooked to an electrical outlet can i hook the portable charger (alligator clips) to the battery wihtout taking the negative and postive leads of the on board charger off the battery ----without shorting something out in the battery or the on board charger.

thanks in advance"

The question got me thinking and I'm not sure about the answer. Silvertip, do you an answer?

Re: Battery Charger

It shouldn't bother but the safe way to do it is to remove just one of the charger leads -- doesn't matter which.
