Correct, but you don't necessarily need to remove it, of you do make sure you're using a battery tender that can monitor voltage vs. a standard battery charger. This approach is not ideal as it'll charge the battery more than the IBS would.


Correct, damage only occurs if you attach a charger directly the the battery itself if it's in the car. This is because it bypasses the IBS and can over charge the battery. Also if you're not using a voltage stable battery tender the pulses in the current delivery can damage the IBS itself.
So I dumbassed this and charged on the battery directly. I am trying to find out if I damaged the battery or IBS. Any idea on how to check?
