I've been charging my TR3A since 1978 and I have never disconnected the
cables.  Never even heard of that and I'm 50.

Hi all;

Perhaps someone can settle an argument between my
son and I?

When charging a car battery, I was always told to disconnect the 
battery 
terminals first, then connect the charger. My son, who is 23, NEVER 
disconnects the battery when connecting a charger to any car. He things the 
principle of having to disconnects is pointless. I have since found out that
his  
practice seems commonplace among his generation.

Anyone got any
thoughts?

Tim
