Volvo recommend the battery is charged every 2 weeks in these low use conditions...
Hi Clan; Given 99% of modern battery chargers are less than 10 Amp and 99.9% automatically reduce to a trickle-charge after the battery reaches a pre-defined status/time, (1) how does a user achieve a constant 10A charge; and, (2) can you confirm the battery is not disconnected for charging?

I understand Live-side goes to the copper plate attached to the battery live terminal and Negative-side goes to the engine-mounting bolt near the coolant tank. Is this correct?

Best regards, Jules
