Charging a 12V battery with a standard charger may lead to damage to the battery as it may boil the acid or undercharge to create sulphation. It may also cause damage to the vehicle electronics which could be an expensive exercise.
Things to make sure when charging your car or bike battery
- No exposed wires
- Protective gear like non conducting gloves
- Avoid charging in wet areas
- Well ventilated space for the gasses to go out
- Right socket so as not overload or short circuit the electric system
