Just after a few thoughts.

Is it better to connect Ctek charger leads directly to the battery terminals or on to the jump start terminals under the bonnet.

I'm tending to go with the jump start terminals so as to protect possibly damaging the SAM unit.
Thoughts Please

You are to charge the battery, not the starter .

Cheers Chris, & thanks for your suggestions.

 

Hello.
Doesn’t make any difference since these terminals you mention are connected directly to the battery terminals and charging currents are low compared to other battery demands the cabling was designed to. I always use them to smart charge the main battery.
If you were talking about performing battery testing it´s totally different. Then I would recommend you to plug the battery lead terminals directly because it can influence internal resistance measurement.

I connect mine to the terminal under the red sliding cap.
I’m sure when I checked this out years ago the manual for the car specifically mentioned that for connecting chargers as it happens.
