Hi all,i want to travel and leave my car battery on charger,do i have to disconnect the terminals or not ,,thanks

You don't need to disconnect the terminals, but if you want to leave it charging for an extended period of time, you'll need a float charger so you don't cook the battery.

^that is correct. I use battery maintainers personally and you can leave them plugged in and hooked up to your battery for any length of time to insure your battery stays charged/maintained. They are inexpensive and worth every penny.

thank you for the responses,my question is that 2 amp slow charge will be ok

How long are you planning to be away?

Dave_S.

A standard 2 amp slow charge will not be ok for an extended period of time. They make float chargers specifically for this purpose.

Here is one example. There are plenty of brands to choose from under $25. Be sure to use a charger that has "float" mode, and not just a "trickle" charger.
