While gone for an extended time, I plan to keep my car battery charged at home using a Battery Charger Junior. Do I need to disconnect the battery from the auto while charging; or can I charge without concern for damaging the auto's electronics? Thanks in advance.

If leaving for more than a month I recommend that the Battery Minder not be plugged into a GFI receptacle.I had done that for 6 months a found a totally dead and ruined battery because the GFI had tripped.Possibly due to a power surge or power outage.

If the time is 3 months or less, just disconnect the battery - no minder needed.
