Charging Flat Battery!

[Mikejon]

This is not a usual occurrance but applicable more to cold weather motoring. At present all is well, but as I am making few long trips out I am a trifle jittery about there being tne morning when the car just clonks and no start (presume warning lights all absent). Hona owners manual states remove battery to charge. But in the situations in the past have always connected charging leads to the battery in situ taking care to connect in the correct sequence. Any reason why I can't continue this way? I' m elderly and its a bit of a struggle to lift it out.

You can use jump leads....

positive on first and last off

Carry on as before with my previous car. Just clip charging leads on without removing standing connections. I got away with that for years but Honda having more complicated electrics (e.g.flashing alarm light) prompted me to check- thanks for that.
