Hey dudes,
I want to fit a CTEK battery charger to maintain the battery when not in use. With this type of charger The connections can be left in place permanently and can be connected to the charger without removing the battery, when the bike is standing for a while.
My problem is that it is a real pain to directly access the battery terminals in the 500 to connect the charger leads. So, my question is, is it safe to connect the chArger cables to the +Ve and -Ve connections at the solenoid and charge via these points (see pic). This would be so much easier, as it would mean I don't have to rip out all the electrics just to get to the battery!
Thanks!
