I never take the battery off to charge it Percy, I just disconnect the cables and charge it in situ with the charger tucked under the bonnet.

I didn't even bother to disconnect the cables Barry.

I must have it wrong then, I was always taught to disconnect the battery before charging otherwise there is chance of frying some of the car electronics.

Re: Good morning Wednesday !

Good afternoon, All, far too hot here, all fans going like mad & doors & windows open.
Unfortunately that means every fly in the area has access to the inside of my home & the stupid things never know where out is either.
Bees & wasps don't have that problem they always know out. Butterflies can be stupid too, but we don't seem to have any around at present.
I always try to get any outside again, except those little moths I kill those, they eat my bears.
