Perusing the owner's manual, it mentions nothing about trickle charging the battery; just how to jump start. I'm assuming (it better be since my tender has been connected since yesterday) it's fine to connect the charge leads directly to the 12v wet cell under the hood? I'm asking because I'm really not sure how the lithium battery ties into the whole circuit as far as charging goes.
From what I understand, the BSG charges the Li-Ion battery under the chassis, which in turn charges the 12V led acid battery used for the old school starter. Running things in reverse by having a tender connected to the 12V battery, will the circuitry top up the lithium battery or is it isolated in this instance?
I often don't drive for a week at time and my garage being poorly insulated, I usually leave whatever vehicles I have in there connected to a smart battery tender. Just don't want to blow up my brand new JLUW in the process lol...
