The concern about attaching the tender directly to the battery is only a concern if the battery is still in the car. You don't want to do that because it can damage the car's charge monitoring stuff (in theory, although I don't know if anyone's actually done that).

Edit- I didn't read the previous post correctly.
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.
