When you charge your ATV battery, do you...

When you charge your ATV battery, do you normally disconnect it? or leave it connected but attach the charger with those giant aligator clips? I would like to charge mine with the cables still attached if possible, less hassle..... but if I run the risk of doing an exfoliating face scrub with battery acid then I guess I'll have to tough it out. :scary:

just clip em onto the battery...no need to undo anything

only on a car or truck with a computer do you need to disconnect the cables. the only 2 risks you run are damaging the cdi box (not likely) and blowing up the battery. there is no acid in a 400ex/300ex/z400/yfz battery but if it was to explode you can still get hurt:p

do not charge it over 2 amps either and for no longer then 1 and half hours at that rate

Thanks guys! I have a bettery tender, should I worry about the duration of the charge then?
