Finally got my first 1000 upvotes on a question about car battery myths

I see so many people asking if you need to disconnect the battery before charging it, but that's only for old chargers. Modern smart chargers are fine to leave connected, which I confirmed with the manual for my NOCO Genius 5. What's a common thing you've seen people get wrong in your area?

Congrats on the upvotes. Actually, the disconnect advice is still pretty solid for modern chargers too. A lot of those "smart" units can still have issues with a car's computer systems if something goes wrong. It just adds an extra layer of safety to disconnect, even if the manual says it's okay.

Totally agree with @simonl86, better safe than sorry!
