My new to me F700GS came with an sae 12V plug attached directly to the battery, for connecting to a trickle charger that was also included. Great!
Or not?
Reading through the owner’s manual, it clearly states to only attach a trickle charger via the on board 12V Hella style plug in the dash. It says NOT to connect a charger directly to the battery, due to risk of possible electrical damage.
I am a believer in following the owners manual, barring convincing evidence to the contrary. What is the collective wisdom on this topic?
